Fire, memory, and obsession: The Burned Man play comes to Tipperary

'The Burned Man' play will be performed in The Source Arts Centre, Thurles, on two dates next week.

The play is described as "a darkly comic descent into love, guilt, and the fires that make us burn.

"Deep in the Galtee Mountains, in a lonely cabin lit by firelight, a scarred man holds two stranger’s captive. As the snow falls outside, their night unravels into confession, absurdity, and revelation.

"Elijah Bright — “the Burned Man” — seeks vengeance for the fire that killed his wife. But as the truth flickers to life, nothing is as it seems, and the line between victim and villain burns away."

Inspired by Beckett’s 'Krapp’s Last Tape', this haunting new play by Patrick Fogarty fuses black humour and raw tragedy, exploring the frailty of love and the madness of memory.

Through recorded voice messages, lost echoes of a life once tender, 'The Burned Man' examines how obsession consumes us — and how even in ruin, we crave connection.

A tense, poetic, and darkly funny journey into the human condition, 'The Burned Man' will leave audiences unsettled, moved, and unable to look away from the flames.
