Taboo! At Cork Arts Theatre

Red ‘n Blue Theatre Company was founded by husband and wife Dylan Kennedy and Jenny Fennessy and they've had such a successful career together! This time round, they're staging a dark comedy: TABOO! "There was a boy and a girl and somehow, they met. Lily doesn’t get out much. Tom finds it hard to meet new people. And now they’re having their first date. Lily cooks a three-course meal. Tom brings flowers and wine. On the surface, everything seems fine. But in the modern world, dating is a surprisingly complex thing with a lot of unwritten rules. There are certain things you shouldn’t do on a first date. And then there are certain things you shouldn’t do at all." It sounds gas, so Conor Tallon rang the two of them for a chat!
