Once Off Productions to Present World Premiere of GUEST HOST STRANGER GHOST

Once Off Productions will present a world premiere of Stewart Parker Trust Award-winning writer Kate Heffernan (In Dog Years I'm Dead, Peat). Guest Host Stranger Ghost is a hilarious and heart-rending cry for a moment of stillness in a life of transience that piggybacks on numerous Dublin Theatre Festival play's sets as part of the show's run.

Heffernan's story is about living in someone else's home, where a mismatched trio rent a house owned by an elderly woman now living her last days in nursing care. Unlikely housemates, they try to find a connection in the short time they're here - and a space for themselves amongst the stuff of her entire life. Playful and boldly inventive, this vagabond new play will criss-cross the city to borrow the stages of other festival productions. With no two performances taking place on the same set, each iteration will offer a completely unique encounter.

This new play speaks directly to Ireland's housing crisis and the subsequent precarious living scenarios that so many are finding themselves in today.

The show contains conversations about sex and death.
