Devious Theatre’s Dario Fo Season

Pretty much all of my blogging activity over the past 8 months has taken place over at the Devious Theatre website as we worked on our Dario Fo Season.

Now that it’s over I will (a. return to this lonely neglected blog and (b. find something else to do with my time. Hopefully.

We’ve wrapped up the entire Dario Fo escapade with a huge feature blog that sums up the entire experience. It’s quite a read and a piece of archiving that will stand to us in future times.

Accidental Death Of An Anarchist Revs Up

Time has flown like a motherfucker and I’ve barely had time to catch my breath and get together a few words about Devious Theatre’s upcoming Accidental Death Of An Anarchist. The first play in our upcoming Dario Fo Season.

It’s been a tremendously exciting process so far and I still haven’t got over the giddy excitement of the fact that I’m directing a Dario Fo play and generally getting to immerse myself in the world and work of the great man for 6 months.

Ahhhh, too much excitement, too little time to write coherently.

Anyway, I’ll be blogging about the show from this Monday on Devioustheatre.com so I’ll be able to give a bit more insight into how the production is running. So do keep an eye out for that. And it won’t be just me, all our cast and crew will be giving their own insights into the play and we’ll have a fine selection of bits and pieces to show off.

The show itself hits the Set Theatre, John Street Kilkenny from December 2nd – 6th.

All information on the production can be found over on Devioustheatre.com
