Terminus

By Mark O'Rowe

A blackly comic vision of Dublin infested with demons, from the author of Howie the Rookie.

Edinburgh Fringe First Award 2008 

'We go, see the slo-mo ebb and flow; the mill, the babble, the rabble of wobbling waywards, exiled and aimless, unlike us as, purposeful and double-file, like kids on a dare, we head who the fuck knows where?'

Three people are ripped from their daily lives and catapulted into a fantastical world of singing serial killers, avenging angels and lovesick demons.

Hold tight as the ordinary turns extraordinary in Mark O'Rowe's exhilarating new play.

'hilarious, stunning, surprisingly touching and enormously satisfying... a fantastic piece of writing' Irish Times

'dazzling... O'Rowe is expanding his language and dramatic form as far as they can go' Guardian

'gripping, grotesque and deliriously good... [Terminus] makes O'Rowe pretty much the most exciting contemporary Irish playwright' Sunday Tribune
