Captain’s Log, Stardate (whatever).
Two of the country’s most diverse creatives, Eoghan Carrick and Nessa Matthews have joined forces to bring audiences to infinity and beyond in their new play i n f i n i t y. Carrick, a freelance director, lighting designer, and associate director of Corn Exchange and Matthews, LAMDA graduate, actor and playwright, aim to bring us on a universal quest to find hope in a galaxy of loneliness. i n f i n i t y premiered at last year’s Dublin Fringe Festival where it was nominated for Best Performer for Nessa Matthews and won the First Fortnight Award and Best Design Award.
Cut to deepest space, past the deadzone, where a lone astronaut hurtles through the cosmos on a one-way mission to the edge of the universe. She’s looking for a light in the dark. The source of a signal. Traversing time and space, isolation and uncertainty, her quest to find hope will bring her to the brink of the abyss.
An exploration of fact, (science) fiction and the spaces in between. A star-bound journey that looks at the stories we tell ourselves when we feel most alone.
Created in association with Corn Exchange Theatre Company and Mermaid Arts Centre, i n f i n i t y premiered at the Dublin Fringe Festival 2018.
