Location: The Grand
theatre

The Bench from the award-winning writer and director of The Haunting of Blaine Manor, is written and directed by Joe O’Byrne. It’s just a bench in the park, the one by the war memorial. A thief, a fake clairvoyant, a homeless man, two burglars, a street sweeper, two war veterans, an artist, a widow, a drug dealer, a real clairvoyant, a loan shark, an angel and a ghost. They’ve all sat here at least once this year. Before the end of the year one of them will be murdered here…

A comedy of love, life and loss, the Bench is the first of four Tales From Paradise Heights to come to The Grand.
