A NEW MUSICAL
BOOK, MUSIC & LYRICS BY FIONN FOLEY

The distant yet familiar state of Hibernia has been taken over by corrupt tyrant Austericus, plunging its citizens into an oppressive autocracy. Two slaves, Ragnall and Milo, bear witness to a divine oracle and try to convince a local cod merchant to be the face of the revolution. But will he take the bait?

An Ill-Advised Theatre Company Production. WINNER of ‘Judge’s Choice’ Award at Dublin Fringe Festival 2017. NOMINATED for ‘Best Ensemble’, ‘Spirit of Wit’ and ‘Fishamble New Writing’ Awards. First performed at Smock Alley Theatre from the 11th-17th of September 2017.

"Consistently witty...[engages] the audience in an upbeat energy and matched with clever lyrics”
-Meg.ie

"The audiences are buoyed up by Foley’s impressively expansive music, a genre-hopping conspiracy of feel-good synths and cutting raps”
-Exeunt Magazine
