COLD COMFORT by Owen McCafferty

A room. A dead body. Nowhere to hide.

Kevin Toner returns to Belfast to confront his father after a 15-year absence. He has a bone to pick, and he is determined to have a conversation that will leave no stone unturned. There's only one problem. His father is dead. And lying in a coffin in the front room. Fly on The Wall Theatre’s critically acclaimed FRINGE hit COLD COMFORT plays April 24-May 4, 2014 at the Tarragon Near Studio.

Awarded Outstanding Performance, Outstanding Direction (NOW Magazine), and Staff Pick (Mooney on Theatre) during the 2013 Toronto Fringe, this remount of the “must-see” solo show is making a triumphant return. COLD COMFORT features “an electrifying performance” by David Mackett, under the direction of theatre veteran Rod Ceballos.

Laced with dark humour and littered with Belfast idiom, expletives and drunken ramblings, award-winning Irish playwright Owen McCafferty’s COLD COMFORT is a stark, tragic, and compassionate masterpiece. It is a powerful and compelling tale of one man’s search for inner redemption, a reconciliation of past wrongs, for light shone on missing moments in his life and relationships …at the one moment none of it is possible.
