Quay West

by Bernard-Marie Koltès

A varied group of people – some poor immigrants, some respectable bourgeois – encounter each other in a derelict warehouse and bargain over money, property and human life.

 

what the press said…

“A fascinating play with a powerful, post-apocalyptic resonance.”

- Irish Independent

“An excellent ensemble cast…the three translators have done a terrific job.”

- The Event Guide

“An extraordinarily powerful, dramatically intense, and profoundly alienating piece of theatre.”

- Sunday Independent

“The sort of thing that makes you feel like slitting your wrists…”

- Evening Herald
