No Point Crying Over Spilt Olives…


I had intended to do a lot more updating of my blog through the production of Can’t Pay? Won’t Pay! and well, I didn’t really. Much to my busy chagrin.

Most of my blogging for the show was done on the Devious Theatre website and my own blog hasn’t really gotten much love in the process.

The show (and indeed our entire Dario Fo Season) finished on Sunday after 7 months of hard work from the entire Devious Theatre crew. We were delighted with the audiences, the feedback and the reviews, one of which was posted today. You can read it here. And that brings our excursion into the work of Dario Fo to a close.

It was a lot of fun and I’m going to miss it.

Here’s some pictures from the show. There’s literally gazillions of blog updates about the show over on DeviousTheatre.com so that’s definitely the place to go if you’d like to find out more.

Can Poster Will Poster

We’re just about 4 weeks off the opening night of Devious Theatre’s production of Dario Fo’s Can’t Pay? Won’t Pay! and business is really starting to pick up.

I’ve been working on the play for the last couple of months in terms of development and rewriting the script. Since January I’ve had the good fortune to be directing the show. It’s the second part of our Dario Fo Season and so far it’s the biggest project we’ve undertaken as Devious Theatre. It’s pretty much been a non stop Dario Fo fest since we launched the project back in August 2009.

This week we unveiled the final poster for the play, as designed by the wizard that is Paddy Dunne and it features the first reveal of the cast of Can’t Pay? Won’t Pay!

Here you see the shoplifting duo Antonia and Margherita (Angela Barrett and Hazel Fahy), their husbands Giovanni and Luigi (Ken McGuire and Ross Costigan) and the hapless Inspector (David Thompson)

I’ve just posted a new rehearsal blog over on www.DeviousTheatre.com. You can check it out here. Keep and eye on that there sight for all other info and bits and pieces on the production.

It runs 10th – 14th March in the Set Theatre, John Street, Kilkenny.
