Meat
will run next week from Wednesday, July 17th, to Saturday, July 20th (at 8:30
PM, tickets are 8/10€), as part of the Galway Fringe Festival. The play is a
huge undertaking for the drama society and they are hoping to top the success
of last year's Rewind, which fared very well in the festival.
Meat
is a dark modern fairy tale about prostitutes and punters, men and women,
animals and humans. The play is set in an upmarket brothel run by Demo, a
gifted hawker and collector of beauty. The exquisite specimens in his menagerie
are Anezka, glamorous courtesan with a flair for the esoteric, Shóna,
hard-bitten veteran of the street trade, and Miriam, whose specialty is
everything. Enter Free, a young mother desperate to make money for the sake of
her son and a radical new element in Demo’s masterfully composed concoction.
