  COLD COMFORT  


Thursday May 5 - Saturday May 14 | Omac | 8.00 pm
 

World Premiere
A New Play by Owen McCafferty


Written and directed by Owen McCafferty Performed by Patrick O’Kane

“ you should have wired me off / you should have let me know that at some stage things could go a bit fuckin wrong."

What happens when the people you need to ask questions of aren’t there anymore? Haunted by his past and present Kevin Toner has to face his demons time and time and time again.

Lyrical, hard hitting with real emotional punch Cold Comfort is a new play by Owen McCafferty, recent recipient of the John Whiting Award for new theatre writing, Evening Standard Charles Wintour Award for new play-writing and the Meyer-Whitworth award for best new play for his brilliant portrait of Belfast, Scenes From The Big Picture. This is the first time that any playwright has won all three awards in one year.

“McCafferty is a writer of depth and subtlety, as well as palpable humanity and he constantly confounds the audiences expectations. His characterisation is detailed, vivid and unpredictable”"
. The Daily Telegraph
