1 June Patrick McCarthy , 2021 single work drama

'A monologue about not speaking.

'After spending a year in silence, June invites an audience into her world. At times charming, at others shimmering with rage, she arrives fully formed but alters at will. A gentle and challenging play about memory and finding a voice that fits who you have become.'

1 The Sky Is Well Designed Patrick McCarthy , 2017 single work drama

'Two scientists venture out into the desert to play music to the earth's dying atmosphere. A work of quiet conversations and stunning sound, The Sky Is Well Designed is the second production from Fabricated Rooms (recipients of four Green Room Award nominations, 2015).

'The Sky Is Well Designed examines the ways in which our relationship to transience and nature is shifting amidst the dual forces of digital existence and climate change.'

1 Grief and the Lullaby Patrick McCarthy , 2015 single work drama

'Unfolding across a single scene, Grief and the Lullaby is a drama of lightness and sensitivity, examining the quiet moments of connection that occur between a group of semi-strangers in a garden at night.

'This new work explores what it means to grow apart from those you grew up with, and the difficulty of bridging that space when you're drawn together again.'

1 2 So Blue, So Calm Patrick McCarthy , 2011 single work drama 'Set in a dream-like suburban backyard, the play is a gentle and delicate conversation between two young men; and explores notions of happiness, masculinity, and the nature of coexistence.'
