Balally Players – Winter One Acts

Balally Players –Winter One Acts

Two intriguing one-act plays. One unforgettable night of theatre.

Balally Players returns this winter with a gripping double-bill that cuts to the bone. Expect intensity. Expect humour. Expect to leave talking.

Penalty by Stephen Smith, directed by Sean T. Daly.

In a hotel room in Azerbaijan, Howard wakes up with a monster hangover. Proffering English tea and sympathy is Government official, Yellena. Slowly, it emerges that Howard, has disgraced himself the previous evening at a welcome dinner. Or has he ? Yellena plays Howard like a fish, first seducing then……

Zoo Story by Edward Albee, directed by Liam Borgstrom.

A modern classic that starts with small talk on a park bench and spirals into unsettling territory. This is humanity stripped raw: funny, bizarre, unsettling and painfully honest.

On a calm Sunday in central park, Peter’s hopes for a quiet afternoon of reading is upended by Jerry, an isolated and disheartened man, desperate to have a meaningful conversation with another human being. This dark comedy was Edward Albee’s first play.

Brave theatre for curious souls.
