A live performance based on a reading of THE FIRST BAD MAN, a novel by Miranda July.
Kitty Blennerhasset, John Benno, Rose McVittie and Freya Golden have recently joined a book club. Their first book is The First Bad Man and every week for a year they keep coming back to it.
This performance is a telling of these book club members’ encounter with the characters of Miranda July’s novel, reviewed by The Observer as: ‘Heartbreakingly sad, thoughtful, disgusting and hilarious’.
Each person booking tickets for the performance will receive a copy of the novel in the post.
For ages 16 +
The First Bad Man originally premiered in Dublin Theatre Festival 2021 as a five part performance piece made up of five sixty minute episodes where every night was an opening night. It was re-developed with the support of the National Theatre Studio’s Generate program in 2023 and now runs as two sixty minute performance pieces; Wormhole and Fundraiser. These episodes are performed in rep and can be viewed as stand alone pieces, or you can see them both.
