Rosaleen Cox, Serpentine Productions & 19th Street Productions
Two people viewed from behind look toward a dark, textured wall, their reflections faintly repeated around them.

Crocodiles. Colin Farrell’s eyebrows. Welcome to a one night stand gone full-on rogue. 

A twisted, darkly comedic two-hander about toxic love and our fear of ending up alone, this sharp, warped and hilarious play asks: how far will we go to feel wanted? 

“People are entitled to their sexual proclivities. Let there be a thousand blossoms bloom…But I ain’t spending any time on it because in the meantime, every three months, a person is torn to pieces by a crocodile in north Queensland.” Bob Katter, Australian MP 

Credits: Directed by Oisín Kearney (Good With Faces, Lie Low), starring Rosaleen Cox and Desmond Eastwood

Developed at Dublin Fringe Festival Studios and with Francesca Moody Productions at Shedinburgh Fringe.
