Synopsis: | Some people never get crazy. What truly awful lives they must lead. Bukowski Multi award-winning Grid Iron invite you to their local, The Barony Bar, to delve deeply into the alcoholic world of Bukowski's alter ego Henry Chinaski. A search for meaning and pleasure in the arms and in the bodies of a series of women drives Henry to confront the darkest corners of himself and to challenge the whole ethic of the working life. Maybe more humanity, more analysis of the human psyche could be found from the edge of a barstool than from the most wide- ranging travels or the deepest research in a library. Barflies looks at the profound liberation of alcohol, its opening up of corners of sexuality and mental activity, as well as its more undesirable effects. Without alcohol, no great art. Without alcohol, no great life? Enjoy Grid Iron responsibly. | |||||

Synopsis: | Multi-award winning Scottish company Grid Iron turn off the lights and conjure up an after-hours world. Returning to their favourite subject, the impact of food on human society, they examine how it can act as a catalyst for unleashing our fears, desires and taboos. Jim Crace's teasing, dark novella is the basis for a journey into a culinary underworld; an uncanny, uncomfortable examination of the envy, love, revenge, hypocrisy, loss and lust which seethe beneath the false calm of the menu, the shopping list and the recipe. The production winds a sinuous and treacherous path from narrative episode to story-telling, from installation to song. Originally commissioned by Cork 2005 | |||||
