Selvage
Granny has been incarcerated, the fairytale has faltered and now something is gnawing at Joe.
Granny has been incarcerated, the fairytale has faltered & now something is Gnawing at Joe.
Selvage is a show about unravelling tightly wound modern anxieties and a boy’s reckoning with his gnaw. the show uses physical storytelling, puppetry and a live, original score from Anna Mullarkey to explore the many ways people try to calm themselves while a ”gnaw” waits not far from the surface. Fast, funny and full of heart, Selvage was Nominated for 2 Irish Times Theatre Awards, Best Actor for writer and performer James Riordan and Best Lighting Design for Lighting Designer Sarah Jane Shiels.
Originally Developed through Druid’s FUEL programme, Selvage had 2 sell out runs in Galway in 2019 before embarking on a 10 venue national tour in 2022.
‘a fun and irreverent show that will put a smile on many a face. James Riordan is a live wire entertainer who creates a feeling of madness for all to enjoy.’
