Consumed
By Karis Kelly, Directed by Katie Posner
A 90th birthday party that no-one seems to want.
Four generations of Northern Irish women, reunited under one roof.
A house full of hungry ghosts, with more than one skeleton in the closet.
Turn off your phones at dinner.
Winner of the Women’s Prize for the Playwriting 2022, Karis Kelly’s play is a pitch-black and twisted comedy of dysfunctional family dynamics, generational trauma and national boundaries.
Presented by Paines Plough, Park Theatre and the Lyric Belfast.
A Paines Plough, Belgrade Theatre, Sheffield Theatres and Women’s Prize for Playwriting production.
