Following
it's sell-out run in the Dublin Fringe Festival 2012, this November Gonzo Theatre's The Circus of
Perseverance is back! This rambunctious, highly profane production
will immortalise one of the most testing times in Dublin’s history.
The talented cast includes Rex Ryan (Best Male Performer nominee in
Dublin Fringe Awards 2013; The Birthday Man, Gonzo Theatre) and Andy
Kellegher (Game of Thrones; Playboy of the Western World, Druid).
This riotous script earned Philip Doherty a nomination for the
Stewart Parker Trust Award, following on from his earlier success
this year as winner of the PJ O'Connor Award for Radio Drama.
Out of
the ashes of a burnt and charred city, rise the heroic adventures of
characters on the fringes of an absurd society. With the ringmaster
as narrator and our capital as the backdrop, seven interwoven stories
are blasted into life in a mesmerizing disco of scenes.
Praise
for the show in 2012:
‘Philip
Doherty’s writing is brilliant. Intelligent as it is hilarious’
****
‘Laugh-out
loud funny’ ****
Irish Times
‘The
laughs and action come thick and fast… a fantastic ensemble’ ****
