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.

★★★★★
“deadly serious and wild fun… Malaprop pulls it off with skill, style and substance.”

– The Irish Times

“a lament for the present and an elegy for the past that keeps alight a flame of hope for the future”

-The New York Times
