Holed up in a Carmen’s bedroom surrounded by snacks, Carmen and Louise play out their intense co-dependent friendship. In a flurry of discussions and writing they furtively seek the essence of creativity, sanity and pistachios. Where power gently see-saws back and forth between the two friends, the lines between care and control gently begin to blur.
The Gallery at Limerick Printmakers will be the setting for the latest production by the Impact Theatre company, following the massive success of Problem Child during the Beltable Fringed festival earlier this year.
“Lessons from Louise” was written by Constentine Sandis, and sees Norma Lowney play role of Carmen. Playing the title role of Louise, is a new addition to the Impact ensemble, Birmingham born Charlie Cassey.
Director of the play, Anne Blake:
“I stumbled across it by accident on the website of a small theatre company in London and it just grabbed my attention. It’s very unusual to find a play online and it was immediately accessible. It’s very exciting, challenging and fast paced. It’s also nice to come across two very well written female characters. The play is dialogue driven and really comes to life on stage,”
The play will run from June 6 to 8 and commences at 2100 hrs.
