A forensic examination of death by a thousand cuts, directed and adapted by Jason Byrne

Piggy Back Project

Little legs get tired easily, and sometimes we all need a lift. Dee Roycroft, a long-time collaborator with Loose Canon, only has little legs. When she had an idea for a new show she wanted to make, Loose Canon (winners of Best Production 2008, Irish Times Theatre Awards) had a thought: while presenting and rehearsing its new show, why doesn’t Dee’s show ‘piggyback’ –share some rehearsal time, cast, creative team, and venue. So, after the run of Anatomy of a Seagull you can catch a handful of performances of Jesus Has My Mom in There and Has Beat Her Up Real Bad. The Piggy-Back Project: it’s like the flake in a 99. New times. New ways. New work.

Anatomy of a Seagull

A girl lives all her life on the shore of a lake. She loves the lake, like a seagull, and she’s happy and free, like a seagull. But a man arrives by chance, and when he sees her, he destroys her, out of sheer boredom. A forensic examination of death by a thousand cuts, directed and adapted by Jason Byrne, after Anton Chekhov.
