the scarlet web

A life on the line and a life online. Two stories a century apart, one about the last witch burned in Ireland, the other about internet infidelity.

Two worlds with common ground, and two couples who don’t know each other as well as they thought they did…Economic pressure, pipe dreams and a belief in made up worlds link rural 19th Century Ireland with today’s technology driven domain, but a firewall hasn’t been invented yet which protects us from ourselves. What a tangled web we weave when first we go online and create a new profile…double life, double trouble.

Witchcraft, wifi and wild imagination combine in this provocative, punchy and playful theatre production for adults as part of our dedicated Halloween seasonal programme. The hugely talented Big Telly Theatre Company brought us Spike Milligan’s Puckoon in 2011 and we are thrilled to welcome them once again for another dynamic production.

Once again, the director Zoe Seaton demonstrates that theatre can be inventive and intelligent without neglecting its fundamental duty to entertain.
