Bacchae of Baghdad, The

Synopsis:
Present day geopolitics clash with ancient, mystical tragedy in this transposition of Euripides' play to the present-day green zone in Baghdad. In the original, the Theban leader Pentheus and the vengeance-seeking half-god Dionysus are cousins who each have some rightful claim on the city. Makes Pentheus the swaggering, tyrannical leader of US forces in Iraq.The argument is skewed irrevocably in the favour of Dionysusplayed as a Middle East-accented, dreadlocked hottie whose powers manifest in his ability to make the Bacchants whirl like dervishes to a groovy world music beat as flames shoot out of the urn containing his mother's ashes.

Ghosts

Synopsis:
Ibsen's drama of sin and sexuality is transported to an Ards Peninsula full of twisted inbred energy and choked with secrets and scandals. In 1883, the Reverend Webster takes the Strangford ferry across to the Irving Estate and to the woman he has refused to visit for 20 years. It is a society obsessed with its ghosts.

Tarry Flynn

Synopsis:
Set in Cavan in the 1930s, Tarry Flynn tells the story of Tarry, a farmer poet, and his quest for big fields, young women and the meaning of life. His sensibility is torn between two impulses: the poetic and the libidinous. We follow his adventures as he uncovers the beauty in every aspect of nature and farm life, all the while keeping up his desperate campaign to get a kiss.
