Following their acclaimed production of Flann O'Brien's The Third Policeman, Blue Raincoat return with O'Brien's acknowledged masterpiece, At Swim Two Birds.
A story with three beginnings and an indeterminable number of endings ... welcome to the world of a lay-about student writer and his fictional creations including Pooka MacPhellimey - "a member of the devil class", Dermot Trellis - a cynical writer of westerns and a host of Irish legends including Finn MacCool and the mad King Sweeney.
A wildly comic send-up of Irish literature and culture, At Swim Two Birds is a hilariously funny and inventive, head spinning work of meta-fiction, a true masterpiece of Irish literature.
"extraordinarily funny... a superb production" Irish Theatre Magazine
