Consumed

by Karis Kelly

Four generations of Northern Irish women, reunited under one roof.

A 90th birthday party that no-one seems to want.

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.

A Paines Plough, Belgrade Theatre, Sheffield Theatres and Women’s Prize for Playwriting production, in association with the Lyric Belfast.

Contains scenes of violence, strong references to death and suicide, strong language/swearing, flashing lights, loud noises, and distressing or potentially triggering themes.
