THE THIRD POLICEMAN
This event was held in the past and is no longer available for booking.
Presented by the Blue Raincoat Theatre Company
By Flann O'Brien
Adapted by Jocelyn Clarke
Written by Flann O'Brien in 1939 but published posthumously in 1967, The Third Policeman is set in rural Ireland and is narrated by a dedicated amateur scholar of De Selby, a scientist and philosopher. Adapted by Jocelyn Clarke from O’Brien’s novel , it features bicycles that are half- human, humans that are half-bicycle, a murder and a most unusual village police force…
The Third Policeman is a murder mystery, a hilarious comedy, a fable of eternal grief, the story of romantic love and a surreal vision of eternity.
“A fantastic production, truly impressive.”
The Sunday Independent
“Striking, funny, tragic, entertaining”
The Irish Times
