January 5 ~ February 9
THE BEST OF THEATRE IN THE DARK. The Odyssey Theatre extends its unique production of short plays performed completely in the dark through February 9, combining the "best of" what was initially a two-evening festival into one evening. With the audience and actors bathed in complete darkness, the imagination and senses are left to soar.
"SEAMLESS... takes what could have been a mere gimmick to new heights...a dozen performers move through the blackness with almost uncanny agility and poise."
–F. Kathleen Foley, Los Angeles Times

In the harsh world of grifting, gambling and getting by, two taxi-drivers
face the toughest choice of their lives. One wrong turn of the cards and this time there's no way back. A darkly comic thriller, where loyalty, trust
and friendship are just more chips to be thrown on the table, RANK takes a trip through the grim, seething and sometimes hilarious criminal world of the north Dublin suburbs.
"An enjoyable jaunt.. .filthily funny.. .the acting is spot on."
– The Guardian
"A carousel of black comedy... well worth catching."
–The Daily Telegraph; 4 STARS
