A dark supernatural tale for Christmas by award-winning playwright Conor McPherson

When I was a boy, I was afraid of the dark…what was there.

Strange Fish returns to Omnibus Theatre with a dark supernatural tale by award-winning playwright Conor McPherson as an alternative Christmas offering.

A jaded and cynical Dublin theatre critic falls for a beautiful young actress. In pursuing her to South London, he meets a household of modern-day vampires who offer him a new life- his part of the bargain is to help them feed their bloodlust.

This production was a hit at last year’s Buxton Festival where Nick Danan won the award for Best Actor.

Strange Fish Theatre Company have previously staged three acclaimed productions at Omnibus Theatre: The Matchbox; Quietly and The Turn of the Screw. The last two productions featured Nick Danan.

Conor McPherson is an internationally renowned playwright whose work includes The Weir; Girl from the North Country; Shining City and Port Authority. He was named by The New York Times as “the finest playwright of his generation”. He won the George Devine Award for St Nicholas and an Olivier Award for The Weir.
