Terminus Tours Internationally
Terminus by Mark O’Rowe sets off on extensive tour in February 2011
A roaring hit when it received its world premiere at the Abbey Theatre in 2007, Terminus written and directed by Mark O’Rowe will tour the US from Februrary 2011, supported by Culture Ireland*.
“… 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 hell knows where? …”
Hold tight as the ordinary turns extraordinary in this vivid and exhilarating play.Catapult from the bustling streets to the skies above Dublin, then plummet deep to the bowels of the earth as three people are ripped from their daily lives and thrown into a fantastical world of singing serial killers, avenging angels and love-sick demons.
Don’t miss your chance to catch this breathtaking production. But be warned – it’s not for the faint of heart!
Contains strong language and violent descriptions. Suitable for over 14s.
This new production features Declan Conlon, Olwen Fouéré and Catherine Walker.
Set and costumes designed by Jon Bausor with lighting by Philip Gladwell and sound by Philip Stewart.

Congratulations to Sydney Theatre Company for bringing this outstanding production to Sydney.
All aspects of the production and performance are in the top echelon of any play brought to Sydney for many years.
My wife and I were thrilled by the rhythms of Mark O’Rowe’s script.
A memorable experience for us both.

I saw this play at the Sydney Opera House today and thought it was just phenomenal. It was one of the best pieces of theatre that I have ever seen. Thank you very much for coming!

This needs to come to NYC. I saw it at the Traverse Theatre a few years back and It is still one of the most moving pieces ive been exposed to in such a simple and compelling way. I look forward to seeing it in the future wherever and whenever i can!

Brilliant show – I’m sad that I did not get to see it from the house, but am still glad to have been able to run the light board for both shows at CSPAC at the University of Maryland. Definitely planning to follow the Abbey in the future!
