Bewley’s Café Theatre in association with Pageant Wagon is proud to present a revival of the Irish Premiere Production of... BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND! HEATHER by Thomas Eccleshare Featuring Aenne Barr and Dermot Magennis Directed by Liam Halligan A reclusive writer. A massive bestseller. A dark secret. What are you willing to forget? What are you willing to forgive? A reclusive children’s writer becomes wildly successful. Her books are treasured across the country. But when a troubling narrative starts to unfold, we find ourselves asking: what matters more, the storyteller or the story? HEATHER is a short, sharp play about language, prejudice and the power of stories. "Hot-button play delivered in slick and enticing package" **** IRISH INDEPENDENT "contains its own share of twists and revelations... assured production" IRISH TIMES “A brilliantly contrived quagmire of uncomfortable issues” ***** HERALD "The twists come thick and fast in a show about identity, performance and authorship ..... consistently thrilling and stuffed to the gills with ideas that resonate perfectly with the big themes of identity" TIME OUT “A thrilling exploration of... identity and creativity” **** THE SCOTSMAN Composer - Denis Clohessy Set Design - Kieran McBride More reviews for HEATHER: '...ferociously smart writing.' THE STAGE 'This is a small and almost perfectly formed look at identity, greed, publishing, and pens.' THE SUNDAY TIMES 'Harry Potter satire burns bright. Fluent, imaginative and bursting with resonance.' THE ARTS DESK 'The Darker Side Of Fantasy. Bold storytelling ponders the power of language.' EVENING STANDARD, GO LONDON 'Smart, sharp, and exhilarating. ... It’s hugely entertaining.' EXEUNT MAGAZINE 'Brilliantly imaginative and theatrically original.'
