Review: 

Sean McLoughlin's Noah and the Tower Flower gives us two top-level actors in a touching drama about bottom-level solo people, Darren Healy and Mary Murray, whose bleak lives have a crying need to connect with a possible romantic liaison. These actors are both extraordinary in their conviction and total immersion into their roles, and Healy's performance is enhanced by his physicality and impressions as they play a fragile former junkie and a man just released from prison.

The play about these two lost people and their interactions is beautifully directed by Jim Culleton, with good lighting by Mark Galione and a simple set by Sinead O'Hanlon. It's a pleasure to be in the presence of such fine work in all departments.
