COMPANY
CURRENT WORK
Castle Rock is the working title of Massive Owl’s newest performance in development.
Its 1959, or is it 1960? It’s Castle Rock and four boys hear something on the radio.
An investigation into the popular culture of adaptation, Massive Owl will attempt their own form of adaptation of the cult classic film: Stand By Me and the book that it was originally based on: Stephen King’s The Body. There might be a woman pretending to be a train, or a man pretending to be a twelve year old boy.
Presently supported by Project Arts Centre and Live Collision, Dublin.
WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT THEM…
‘They have developed a very distinctive style that is mature and highly skilled, and demonstrates an exceptional understanding of ensemble performance. The performance work they create sits somewhere between physical theatre and live art, with their ability to ‘story-tell’ through the most minimal of means making their work both complex and accessible.’ – Kate Craddock, Festival Director, GIFT (Gateshead International Festival of Theatre)
