Sinopse

On Charlie Tyndale’s family tree Are branches bearing, he discovers, Ancestors of the landed gentryIncluding incestuous lovers;An intrepid adventurer too,With an eye for a collectible,And there’s a murdered musician whoIn life was all too corruptible.Was his killer a spurned lover, orA rival claimant to the estate, Or treasure-seekers settling a score,Or all, in a brutal syndicate?    And through all a Concerto’s movements endure;   To Charlie’s ancestral tale, the overture.

    Jericho by Malaprop Theatre is an off-kilter, high-energy, form-pushing play about what pro-wrestling and politics have in common. It asks big questions in weird ways, like what can a pop-culture journalist do to stop the world burning down?
    It was first performed at Bewley's Cafe Theatre, Dubin, in February 2017, before being reworked and performed at Underbelly, as part of Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2018.
    Also available in the collection Plays from VAULT 4.

    Edgar Allan Poe (born Edgar Poe) was an American author, poet, editor, and literary critic, considered part of the American Romantic Movement. Best known for his tales of mystery and the macabre, Poe was one of the earliest American practitioners of the short story, and is generally considered the inventor of the detective fiction genre. He is further credited with contributing to the emerging genre of science fiction. He was the first well-known American writer to try to earn a living through writing alone, resulting in a financially difficult life and career.Poe and his works influenced literature in the United States and around the world, as well as in specialized fields, such as cosmology and cryptography. Poe and his work appear throughout popular culture in literature, music, films, and television. - Summary by Wikipedia

    The Poetry of Cats

    William Wordsworth, Rainer Maria...

    The cat. Independent when it wants and making us dependent on its whims when it deems.  Cats are first thought of as being domesticated in the Near East in about 7500 BC.  A few thousand years later in Ancient Egypt they are worshipped as gods.  From a domestic cat’s point of view this is pretty much the life they want and that some cats lead right now.    
      
    Their larger cousins whether in forest, savannah, mountains or desert were fated for their speed, strength, beauty, feline powers and prowess.  They now live in a finely balanced world between freedom and declining numbers as their habitats are destroyed or taken from them.  
     
    Across the centuries poets have written verse that captures all manner of thoughts on our complex relationship with all cats, though mainly the humble moggy, on whose whims we slave over, eager for a look of recognition, the nod of thanks or the purr of gratitude.
