Following previous sell-out performances in Edinburgh and Dublin, The Approach now makes its debut on the virtual world stage with three live broadcasts from Project Arts Centre, Dublin.
Utterly riveting and engrossing, Mark O’Rowe’s enigmatic play reveals a profound truth about relationships. Three conversations draw us into the inner lives of Anna, Cora, and Denise. What will they reveal to each other? And what does each of them have to hide? “It takes a crisis of some sort sometimes, or an upheaval, for people to really evaluate how they feel about one another, doesn’t it?”
The Approach is an exploration of betrayal, and an appeal to listen before it’s too late.
