Once Off Productions presents a world premiere of Stewart Parker Trust Award-winning writer Kate Heffernan (In Dog Years I’m Dead Peat). Guest Host Stranger Ghost is a hilarious and heart-rending cry for a moment of stillness in a life of transience that piggybacks on numerous Dublin Theatre Festival play’s sets as part of the show’s run.
Heffernan’s story is about living in someone else’s home where a mismatched trio rent a house owned by an elderly woman now living her last days in nursing care. Unlikely housemates they try to find a connection in the short time they’re here – and a space for themselves amongst the stuff of her entire life. Playful and boldly inventive this vagabond new play will criss-cross the city to borrow the stages of other festival productions. With no two performances taking place on the same set each iteration will offer a completely unique encounter.
This new play speaks directly to Ireland’s housing crisis and the subsequent precarious living scenarios that so many are finding themselves in today.
