Casual reunites writer Meadhbh McHugh and director Annabelle Comyn for the first time since their critically acclaimed production of Asking for It, winner of the Audience Choice Award at the Irish Times Theatre Awards.
One afternoon, engaged couple Tina and Ben check into an old country estate hotel. Ahead of their big day, the young couple has planned the perfect night away: champagne, a bubble bath, a tasting menu.
But as a wedding party spills into the rooms below, Tina and Ben’s flirtatious games turn into tests, and chance encounters start to cast shadows over all they had planned.
Casual is a darkly funny, and quietly unsettling, drama about the stories we tell — and withhold — from the people closest to us. What does it mean to trust? And how do we live with the ghosts of the past and the uncertainty of the future?
