The Tragical Life of Cheeseboy 5 - 7 Oct 2014

Part of the Dublin Theatre Festival Family Season 2014. Inside an enchanting travelling theatre tent, discover a storyteller who shares a timeless tale...It's the story of a boy made of cheese!

Cheeseboy's home planet (also made of cheese) is obliterated by a passing meteorite and reduced to a bubbling fondue.

Marooned on Earth, Cheeseboy meets two wise old gypsies and discovers strange new powers, leading our hero to understand that by knowing who he is and where he came from he is capable of having a beautiful and adventurous life.

The Tragical Life of Cheeseboy is a multi award-winning production written by Finegan Kruckemeyer, author of the 2011 festival hit The Girl Who Forgot to Sing Badly (The Ark/Theatre Lovett). Inspired by the legends of heroes and adventurers such as Superman, Edward Scissorhands and The Little Prince, this wondrous and familiar journey will transport you to a fantastic world of exotic cheese curds through lights, music and mirrors.
