Synopsis: | Arthur Penman is a nobody. He works for the reputable firm of Singleton, Drab and Gray. But one night he returns home to find a beautiful woman waiting for him. An actress. He is whipped up into a world of theatre, writing, dreaming and ultimately madness. "The great joy of the Festival is discovering groups and writers you'd not come across before. Funny, touching and riotously inventive, this tautly scripted, superbly performed gem was head and shoulders above many big name, big budget productions elsewhere in the Festival. The company are clearly names to watch." The Irish Post. "Thirty seconds into this production, I could feel the tension in my shoulders loosen, the corners of my mouth upturn into a half-smile and my every muscle relax, secure in the knowledge that I was in the presence of accomplished performers who were going to enchant me with their fairytale, without a single line-fluff, a glimpse of over-acting or self indulgence."
