If you haven't seen it yet, this is the time! If if you have, this is a great opportunity to check Solstice Arts Centre... and a new cast member: Emmet!

I'll be there, definitely!

Monged has just been awarded the prestigious Stewart Parker Trust Award

Bernard works for an insurance company, wants to be a writer.
Dave works on a building site, wants to be a drug dealer.
Ray works in a bar, wants to be a musician.

They are all completely monged.

Monged is a 90-minute, destruction derby of a play.
Blackly comic, perceptive and exhilarating: a human pile-up in the heart
of Dublin.

Directed by Jim Culleton

'hot-shot writer...imaginative and insightful...well worth a visit' Hot
Press

'Duggan's writing is pacy and raw...thoroughly engaging' In Dublin

'Duggan writes very well...Jim Culleton's slickly energetic
production...a cross between Ulysses and a buddy movie...pacy, punchy
narratives...a little gem of a performance' Fintan O'Toole, Irish Times

'fast-paced, blackly-comic tale is directed with a deft hand...spot-on
performance...Duggan and Fishamble have pretty much got it right'
The Event Guide

'well written...well staged...a lot of laughs...possible cult hit' RTE 1
/The View

'manic energy...constant movement...hilarious' Irish Independent

'richly evocative...wonderful images...fine, pacy, stylised
direction...Duggan writes beautifully...(Fishamble) continues to take
risks on new writing and new ideas... smashed hit...climb aboard and
enjoy the ride' Sunday Tribune

'an excellent play...perfect' entertainment.ie

'...relentless pace and drugged up momentum...rich description and a
generous fix of wit...entertaining' rte.ie

'a great show...not without controversy...a must-see' Newstalk 106

'a night at a Fishamble production is rarely (if ever) wasted...Monged is cracking, wicked, phat
even...well worth a visit' Village

'director Jim Culleton recognizes, like his designers, that Monged works
best as a trip...words sweep the characters along with the pace of a
fast-cut film montage...the script and stage provide constant
stimulation...Monged hums with authorial insouciance and its limber
approach conceals a more ambitious project: to render a city in
surfaces, to measure youth in moments'
Irish Theatre Magazine

Fantastic! I caught this before in Dublin by chance and it was a great show. It will look really well in Solstice.

Thanks for the heads up Froggy. Must put it in my diary.
