Some Flood Artwork

From a rooftop on a cold day in Dublin’s city centre to an underwater world, here’s the final artwork for Devious Theatre‘s Some Flood.

Devious Theatre Launch Some Flood

There’s a flood coming. The first theatre production of 2014 that I’m working on kicks off on 1 February with a work-in-progress showing at Quarter Cork before heading to Smock Alley in March for Collaborations and Cleere’s in Kilkenny a week later. Read all about it here.
