Cuckoo

Everyone hates Iona. Everyone except Pingu. Fitting in is hard when one of you can’t shut up and your silent best friend wears a tuxedo to school every day. Sick of the never-ending cycle of bullying and despair, the pair of them decide to get out of Dublin.

Who’da bleedin’ thought emigrating was such a great way to get noticed by the cool kids? Iona is loving the attention. Drunk on her new-found popularity, she will do anything to feel this way forever.

Iona quickly discovers she has messed with the wrong crowd… and the wrong penguin. In a world where reputation must be defended tooth and nail, this can only end in disaster.

Introducing a distinctive new comic voice from debut playwright Lisa Carroll, Cuckoo is a world premiere which looks at friendship, pain, power, and what it truly means to be yourself. Directed by Debbie Hannan.
