Casting has been confirmed for Park Theatre’s World Premiere dark drama, The Weatherman. Written by Eugene O’Hare, the production will star Mark Hadfield, Niamh James, Alec Newman, Cyril Nri and David Schaal.
Examining the no go lines people will cross when it’s too dangerous to run away, the play, directed by Alice Hamilton, runs 15th August to 14th September 2019.
Beezer and O’Rourke live on the fringes of society in a dingy London flat, struggling to make ends meet. Despite living life at the bottom of the heap, the savage banter of their dysfunctional relationship keeps the pair afloat.
When their dodgy landlord, Dollar, makes them a ‘business’ proposition, O’Rourke finds himself selling out for the cost of a few months’ rent. The price? Take care of a mystery special package. Just for a few months. Easy job. Easy money. As the weight of a heavy conscience becomes too much to bear, the outlook for tomorrow becomes increasingly dark, with a storm brewing on the horizon.
Eugene O’Hare’s first play in Park Theatre’s 2019 season shines a light on complicity, and its intriguing web of secrets and lies woven behind closed doors.
