Cillian Murphy and Colin Farrell shot to movie stardom after they featured in the cult hit, Intermission, written by Mark O’Rowe.
O’Rowe’s masterpiece for the stage, Howie the Rookie, has been revived and is now on tour from Glass Mask Theatre in Dublin. It stars Stephen Jones and Rex Ryan, two of Ireland’s most outstanding young actors. It’s coming to Geneva for one night only.

What the critics said
“This remarkable play is powerful, poignant and pulverisingly funny.” – The Irish Times
“It is a tragedy played out as a scabrous high comedy – the bleakest of scenarios conjured with the lightest of touches.” – The Guardian
“Mr. O’Rowe’s live-wire language is lyrical and dirty and riotously imaginative.” – New York Times
“First time around, I discerned echoes of Damon Runyon and Irvine Welsh in O’Rowe’s tale…… but the crucial episode – the Howie’s rescue of the Rookie in the chaotic Dublin night – reminds me of the broadly similar event from which James Joyce went on to spin out all of Ulysses. That’s a mighty comparison to invoke, but not an absurd one.” – The Financial Times
