Scratcher is the new play by Devious Theatre and it opens this Tuesday night in Kilkenny.
I’ve been working on it for nearly a year at this stage so it’s been great to see it come together as part of our ‘In The Future When All’s Well’ residency. The play is set in a dole office as it becomes the scene of a burgeoning revolution that threatens to overrun Ireland. So, considering the worldwide revolution in many countries and the general election this week, the play has ended up being rather apt all of a shot.
We opened on Thursday of last week during The Theatre Machine Turns You On: Vol II at the Project Arts Centre in Dublin. The show sold out and people clapped and everything. It was great for us to get such a reaction and we’re definitely confident of the Kilkenny show.
Scratcher runs from February 22nd – 26th nightly at No. 76 John Street, Kilkenny. All info and tickets can be found on www.devioustheatre.com
