Fringe Festival at Dublin was great this year. We tried out
The Dedalus Lounge, A fabulous treat! And who could resist a blurb that describes it as jet black?? Great actors, entertaining story, well designed set.
From the website: “In Dublin, all the real theatre is in the pubs..”
The Dedalus Lounge is a grungy old city-centre bar that’s somehow managed to remain stubbornly intact despite the tsunami of Modern Ireland that has crashed down all around it. Old college buddies Daragh, Danny and Delphine are regulars there. Over Christmas drinks they reflect on recent triumphs and tragedies. A jet-black Christmas tale of desperation, casual sex, bereavement, shoplifting and Freddie Mercury impersonations.
Dedalus Lounge is written by 2006 Stewart Parker Award Winner, Gary Duggan, (Fishamble’s MONGED) and is directed by Alan Kinsella.
