Following their Off-Broadway debut, Malaprop Theatre presents their first Irish Tour, with their award-winning production, HOTHOUSE.
A fast-paced, intergenerational story of love, loss, and legacy set on an Arctic cruise ship that takes the audience on a journey to bid farewell to the ice caps. Guided by an unhinged cruise ship captain, HOTHOUSE tells the familiar stories of one family’s legacy, from 9 year old Ruth in 1960’s Ireland to her great-great-great-great-great grandchildren 100 years from now. Written by Carys D. Coburn with original songs and music by Anna Clock.
Malaprop are an Associate Company of Field:Arts. Funded by The Arts Council.
