UK Premiere
The Corn Exchange Theatre Co., Dublin
By Michael West
A sudden shock, and a man’s life flashes before his eyes. In an intense rush of extraordinary images and tangled memories, he attempts to reconnect the events that have shaped him.
From the creative team behind Dublin by Lamplight (Winner Best Ensemble, Stage Awards 2005), The Corn Exchange return to Traverse with this humorous and compassionate study of an ordinary life.
Freefall was a hit in its premiere run in the Dublin Theatre Festival 2009 and went on to win Best Director and Best New Play at the Irish Times Irish Theatre Awards.

“A sophisticated idea that becomes fully embodied through the warmth and poignancy of the writing, and through the humanity of the performers. Freefall might just mark the day when Irish writing grew up.”
Herald HQ
“Comically surreal and poignant... a courageous and innovative piece.”
