TACTICS
WRITTEN BY Jeda de Brí & Finbarr Doyle
DIRECTED BY Jeda de Brí
Medbh Callaghan is running for election to Dáil Éireann for the first time. As she prepares for her first national interview, problems arise in her personal life that must be dealt with if she is to succeed. The play casts an unflinching eye on relationships, power and the complications of ambition.
Tactics was the second play staged as part of the Sickle Moon Residency in Theatre Upstairs 2014.
It ran from June 17th - 28th
“Tactics is very well written indeed: it is a thoroughly unpleasant, heartfelt comment on what the authors clearly see as the contemptible nature of all party politics in this country.
Directed with fire and discipline by de Brí.”
“An enjoyably wicked combination of black comedy and political satire… A tightly written, well-acted piece. ★★★★”
