On Q Theatre Company presents a dark comic thriller
A darkly comic thriller set in the grim, seething and sometimes hilarious criminal world of Dublin’s suburbs. Carl, an overweight Dublin taxi driver, owes Jackie Farrell three grand in gambling debts. Jackie wants the money and he wants it now, not least because an armed robbery he masterminded has just gone badly wrong. From there, it all goes downhill for Carl and his father-in-law George.
Rank was premiered by Fishamble, at the Dublin Theatre Festival in 2008 before transferring to the Tricycle Theatre, London.
"Robert Massey’s play is partly a tense who’s-screwing-who and partly a very funny comedy. It works on both levels and even better at the moments that they intersect, the menace and humour bouncing off each other with real theatrical excitement" THEATRE GUIDE LONDON
"This fresh, funny play takes on five Irish men casting about in a new Ireland unfettered by the chains of history, religion or politics ... Massey’s writing is sharply comic ... Massey’s characters embark on a dangerous game of cat and mouse that yields much theatrical enjoyment." METRO LONDON
