Coming of Age story comes home to Derry
and on Freeview 262 or Freely 565
Commedia of Errors are back at The Playhouse Derry with brand new play 'Rose+Bud' by Rose Coogan directed by Benjamin Gould on the 10th and 11th October.
Rose+Bud is a fresh coming of age story about young Bud leaving Ballynahinch and escaping to the bright lights of university in...Magee, Derry. Only he's not alone- with him, of him and for him, is Rose. Rose is his 'ideal', his 'other', his self. A journey of realisation, transition and perhaps, reconciliation. Journey inside the mind of Rose Coogan - a play about coming to terms with who you were, who you are and who you want to be. Fresh from its debut at the Dublin fringe this play, described as a 'Queer Philadelphia, Here I Come!' by audience members, is a coming of age story for the times.
