UPCOMING PRODUCTIONS
	Dublin Fringe Festival and The Attic Studio present Those Powerful Machines by Anold Thomas Fanning A new Play about Sex, Power and Semtex Roddy, and Irishman, lives alone in a suburb of London in the mid 1990s, nursing his wounds and building machines for his own strange purposes. Trace, an English night-club hostess, joins him for a session of Sunday evening bondage. They are rudely interrupted by Clanger, another Irishman, agitated and disheveled, who knows too much about Roddy's past and has a demand that will jolt Roddy out of his amnesiac purgatory and bring him back shokingly into the now. A play of the clash between genders, about control and desire, about the struggle to let go of the past, it is bound to keep audiences thinking long after the powerful machines have stopped running.
