1. Empty Sky

Square Pegs – Macready Theatre Young Actors’ Company

1. an empty sky; 2. a girl, missing; 3. a community of collectors; 4. a past, forgotten… Square Pegs are back with to a brand-new play about memories, tape recordings and the stories we tell to make sense of the impossible. Through unexpected interviews, forgotten fragments and half remembered truths, a town tries to understand an event no one can fully explain. Expect fast-paced, fun-filled ensemble storytelling delivered in Square Pegs’ characteristically sharp, simple and brilliantly absurd style.
