Following their Off-Broadway debut (2024) where they were selected as a New York Times Critic’s Pick, Malaprop Theatre presents an Irish Tour of their award-winning production, HOTHOUSE.
A fast-paced, intergenerational story of love, loss, and legacy set on an Arctic cruise ship that takes the audience on a journey to bid farewell to the ice caps. Guided by an unhinged cruise ship captain, HOTHOUSE tells the familiar stories of one families legacy, from 9 year old Ruth in 1960's Ireland to her great-great-great-great-great grandchildren 100 years from now. Written by Carys D. Coburn with original songs and music by Anna Clock.
