A grotesque comedy about shopping (not for the faint-hearted!) Presented by Carpet Theatre

"Fast, fun, frantic, vaguely menacing and all quite mad." Irish Theatre Magazine **** 4 Stars
 
Outsize Orlagh is after a designer fit and Enda is shopping for the latest thing but the kids are driving them mad.

Jacintha and Dijon are shopping for free, while the Cavan farmers are after some ham. Security has his eye on everyone, but ht eeconomy is crumbling, credit cards are crunching and everyone’s going out of Control...

A band of bouffons (outcast clowns from god-knows-where) take over the theatre to present their anarchic show based on the "real-life" Blanchardstown Centre. It’s a phantasmagorical escalator ride through the contemporary suburban shopping experience, where everything's for sale but what you want seems just out of reach!

Devised by Ciarán Taylor and the company
Featuring: Bryan Burroughs, Jaimie Carswell and Amy Conroy.
Live Music by: Jack Cawley and Kim Porcelli
Costumes by Miriam Duffy
 
**This show features live music and a ruthless comedy which is not for the faint-hearted!**

"Finally-a show that takes crude comedy seriously... the magnificently misshapen grotesques of Carpet Theatre's dazzlingly vulgar show lurch through a roughly conjured Blanchardstown Centre... In laughing hard at their disgusting behaviour you are slyly confronted with your own." Irish Times **** 4 Stars
