The Slapdash Assassin

Stage Manager | The Science Of Humans Theatre | Basement Theatre

“County Meath, Ireland. Jerome, raised by his Grandfather, ex-Gardai Inspector Seamus, has dedicated his life to finishing the work Seamus left unfinished; cleaning Ireland of the criminals that the law cannot touch. By any means necessary.

This is Ireland, however, where history, particularly family history, has a habit of getting in the way. Enter a Catholic priest with his own confession to make, a self confessed “bad Bishop”, a school teacher whose lessons are just beginning, and a shadowy figure for whom the troubles never ended, and this small farm is going to be the site of secrets, scandal and sedition.

Oh, did we mention it’s a comedy?”

‘It is savagely funny but has a truthful pulse which never skips a beat through a series of startling and sometimes shocking events. There is a potent sting in this tale… There is plenty of laughter, plenty of wit, but under it all events more inevitably lead to a conclusion as humorously bitter as could be imagined.’ – Theatreview.co.nz
