West Meath Gothic

A one-horse town with a one-channel TV. 
A dilapidated farmhouse in the bowels of rural Ireland. 
A radio crackles in a dark space. 
A flash of fur and heels passes  through the halls. 
A broken home. A thwarted inheritance. 
One locked room. The grey house groans unhappily.  

You’re welcome inside West Meath Gothic. 

A deliciously dark fever dream, a shadowy celebration of rural life, a multidisciplinary show blending mesmerising aerial dance and visceral physical theatre, pulsing under an original electronic score.
