An unsavoury character. A riveting storyteller. A spare and striking study on grief and alcoholism.
Grab your drink of choice, and settle in for a night of laughter and tears as Accidental Productions presents BoomShanka Productions' staging of Owen McCafferty's award-winning play Cold Comfort.
Cold Comfort is lyrical, hard hitting, and gives real emotional punch. This SA premiere brings together Brendan Rock, in his directorial debut, with his twin brother David Rock starring in the story of Kevin Toner who returns to Belfast after an absence of 15 years.
In a last 'conversation' with his recently deceased father, Cold Comfort reveals a man facing his demons for perhaps the first time in his life.
By Owen McCaferty, winner of the Meyer-Whitworth award for best new play.
"David Rock, directed by Brendan Rock (his brother) is captivating as the bitter, lonely and troubled Kevin Toner. An emotionally demanding experience, but also a thought-provoking and rewarding one" - Jamie Wright - Adelaide Theatre Guide
Following Accidental Productions's season at the Bakehouse, the Rock brothers have been invited to return to Melbourne for a two week season of Cold Comfort in Chapel off Chapel (July 3-12, 2009).
About the playwright:- Writer Owen McCafferty has caused a sensation in the UK theatre world picking up numerous UK literary awards: the John Whiting Award for new theatre writing, Evening Standard Charles Wintour Award for new playwriting and the Meyer-Whitworth award for best new play.
"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
