Terminus goes down a storm downunder
Terminus wowed audiences and critics alike on its recent performance at the Malvern Theatre, Melbourne as part of the Melbourne International Arts Festival.http://www.abbeytheatre.ie/whats_on/event/700
The Age called it ‘a work full of fascinating contradictions, simultaneously static and fluid, detached and absorbing, repugnant and uplifting… O’Rowe’s extraordinary combination of language and character is almost Shakespearean in its range and power.’
Australian Stage described it as ‘a highly accomplished work and an, at times, astonishing piece of writing that nonetheless requires considerable concentration from the audience. But the result is an engaging fantasy for grown-ups and a thoroughly enjoyable piece of theatre.’
Arts Hub went with ‘the intensity of the performances and the gritty dexterity of O’Rowe’s words have a hypnotic power all of the their own… Imaginative and memorable, Terminus is a remarkable play, and further sign of the inventiveness and skill of contemporary Irish writing.’
