As part of Dublin Theatre Festival, in association with The Civic.
A young girl chooses to investigate the weird factory her father works in, and becomes an unlikely leader against a sinister plot of ultimate destruction.
The fantastical story of the town of Ballyplastic which needs to be saved from the domination of a villainous CEO and his maniacally disgusting boss. With spectacular acrobatics, dizzying dance, comical characters, and big banging musical numbers, this epic tale will leave you sore from laughing, your feet itching to dance and your heart full of possibility.
A modern legend about over-consumption and environmental collapse told by a star-studded cast in the playful and infectious comedic style of Lords of Strut.
