HALF LIGHT
winner of the 2016 First Fortnight Award
​

Production image from HALF LIGHT. A boy wearing a red jumper and woolly hat holds the string of a red balloon in one hand and a green lantern in the other. He is hanging on to the back of a woman costumed as a crow, who has her arms outstretched as if she they are flying through the air. The background is dark.
​​​​"Tender, heartwarming and hilarious"  The Irish Mirror
"Beautifully transportive"
 TN2 ★★★★
"Clever, funny and utterly engaging" The Arts Review ★★★★ 
Imagine this: you’re walking up a mountain, through a forest of pine trees, and you’re trying to find your Dad. He’s been taken by a monster.

Meet Robin, a ten-year-old boy travelling through the magic, fantastical woodland of his father’s storybook.

A tale which is as true as it is untrue. Half dark and half light.

Suitable for ages 8+

​Half Light premiered at The New Theatre as part of Dublin Fringe Festival 2016. The show was developed with support from Dublin Fringe Festival, FRINGE LAB and Trinity College Dublin Drama Department.  Half Light won the First Fortnight Award and was nominated for Best Ensemble at the Dublin Fringe Awards 2016.
