Burnt Out, Paperback / softback Book

Burnt Out Paperback / softback

Part of the NHB Modern Plays series

Paperback / softback

Description

On the surface, Michael and Cheryl have it all: a posh new home in suburban Belfast, good jobs, 2.4 pets. But things take a sinister turn when, living opposite a bonfire site, they unwittingly become the targets of a hate campaign involving missing animals, graffiti and explosions…Gary Mitchell's play Burnt Out is a blackly comic psychological thriller exposing the darker side of suburban life.

It was first performed in 2023 at the Lyric Theatre Belfast, as part of the Belfast International Arts Festival. Gary Mitchell is a British playwright based in Northern Ireland.

His plays, many of them political thrillers about contemporary life in Belfast, have been widely performed, and he has been called 'Northern Ireland's greatest playwright' (Guardian). 'His writing has the blazing conviction of lived experience combined with an unfashionable relish for strong plots.

His best work has a stomach-churning intensity' Daily Telegraph
