Nightclub interruption and q***r theatrical extravaganza; our latest production has its world premiere at Dublin Theatre Festival tonight.
Fizzing between performance and reality - 0800 CUPID is an SOS response to the swelling social anxiety of a pre-apocalyptic world; a camp catalyst for reconnection and musical march into, and back from, the existential brink.
Featuring an all-star creative team, the show is written by Emer Dineen, directed by Phillip McMahon with music produced by Elaine Mai. We can’t wait to welcome all those lucky ticket holders to our musical odyssey at Project Arts Centre.
No tickets are currently available for the show, but if you add your name to the waitlist at [email protected], you may be able to get a ticket and see the show ✨ For London heads, the show will tour to from 16th - 26th Oct. See you soon, cherubs 👼
