THE TRON Theatre’s spring/summer highlights have been announced.

And the news will delight theatre goers who love to see plays that challenge and provoke.

In March, David Leddy’s new play International Waters will premiere at the theatre, with “a twisting plot exploring how progress can be a trap, involving elegant glamour, brutal food poisoning, cyborg finance and a delicious bull testicle meringue.”

And in the same month, theatre-makers Vanishing Point will produce The Destroyed Room, inspired by the famous Jeff Wall photograph of a ransacked room.

Amy Conway's 30:60:80 is a celebration of three lives spanning fifty years with the women of one family.

In April, New Room Theatre present their honest, brutal and often hilarious insight into alcoholism and recovery, Blackout.

The Lung Ha Theatre Company is set to take audiences on a (quiet) April journey in The Silent Treatment written by Douglas Maxwell, with music by MJ McCarthy.

Mark Thomas returns after the sell-out success of Cuckooed with his brand new show Trespass.

And in the same month Emma Callander will be directing the Traverse Theatre Company production Crash, described as “a rare and poetic insight into the psychology of a banker's world.”

In June, Spilt Milk present their first full-scale production, Adulting, which wrestles with the responsibilities and expectations associated with being a grown-up.

In July the Tron will present Martin McDonagh's The Lonesome West in July, the third in his bleak but blackly comic Leenane trilogy. McDonagh's bickering brothers Coleman and Valene squabble over everything from religious icons to packets of crisps.

Producer/director Andy Arnold is delighted with his Spring/Summer programme.

“It is one of the strongest programmes I've assembled in recent years," he said.

“Not only am I excited about the work Tron Theatre Company will present, but I’m also delighted to have such a high calibre of visiting companies premiering work on the Tron stage.”
