Details

Fabulous Beast exploded onto the Irish arts scene in 1997. The company is led by Michael Keegan-Dolan, one of Ireland's most talented, challenging and innovative contemporary artists. The production is based on the great Irish epic An Tain Bo Cuailnge (The Cattle-Raid of Cooley), which recounts a long, bloody war fought over a celebrated bull. Keegan-Dolan transposes this gem of Irish sagas to the savage underbelly of contemporary society. A cast of runts, imbeciles, egomaniacs, masochistic deviants and impotent catamites squabble and conspire in the bogs and towns of an Irish-tinged world in which corruption, deception and adultery are at the heart. Age guidance 16+. This production contains nudity and explicit material and language. 90mins/no interval
