About this ebook
A blackly comic vision of Dublin infested with demons, from the author of Howie the Rookie.
Edinburgh Fringe First Award 2008
Three people are ripped from their daily lives and catapulted into a fantastical world of singing serial killers, avenging angels and lovesick demons.
Hold tight as the ordinary turns extraordinary in Mark O'Rowe's urban fantasy.
'hilarious, stunning, surprisingly touching and enormously satisfying... a fantastic piece of writing' - Irish Times
'dazzling... O'Rowe is expanding his language and dramatic form as far as they can go' - Guardian
'gripping, grotesque and deliriously good... [Terminus] makes O'Rowe pretty much the most exciting contemporary Irish playwright' - Sunday Tribune

Reviews for Terminus (NHB Modern Plays)
2 ratings1 review
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This is a powerful and unsettling play. Set in Dublin, it consists of three un-named characters and nine inter-connected monologues. The narrative is initially straightforward: a hotline volunteer embarks on a mission to help someone in distress, a young woman goes out for a drink with friends, a man picks up a not-very-attractive woman in a bar. Gradually, the threads of the narratives merge, the links between the characters become clear and the story becomes dark and almost surreal. This is not for everyone: it contains strong language and references to sex and violence. But there is also comedy and real human tragedy. The language is wonderful: amazingly evocative and - best of all - in verse.
