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.
Directed by Graham Cantwell
Starring Thomas Farrell, Rachel Rath and Steve Gunn
