In a lighthouse on the edge of civilisation, an old man and an
old woman are waiting.
They await the arrival of the town's people to their home.
Everyone, from the Mayor to the Blacksmith, the Colonel to the
Courtesan will be there. It is possible the Emperor himself may
attend. Because tonight, after a long life of bewilderment and
underachievement, the old man has finally decided to tell
all.
Eugene Ionesco's The Chairs is one of the most
merciless and unrelenting interrogations of life and living ever
written for the stage; a mind-spinning tragic farce.
Blue Raincoat are one of Ireland's most celebrated theatre
companies, and the only full-time ensemble in the country. They
make a welcome return to the Traverse after their inspired
adaptations of Flann O'Brien's The Third Policeman and
At Swim Two Birds.
