Subscript
By Paddy Hill & Freddy Brook
If a christian man is ignored by God, desperate, he turns to make a deal with the Devil. The Devil will explain, deviously, when influencing a life there is a balance and those that push their heads above the water level do so by pushing those around them beneath the dark surface. "Subscript" explores how even those with the sweetest expression upon their faces can hide the most unholy motives.
Performances: 25th - 27th January
Time: 25th & 27th @7.30pm, 26th @4.20pm
