The Burgess family find themselves at a crossroads amidst Dublin's tumultuous housing crisis. Betty, sober for five years, is refusing to leave the family home, while Martin, her estranged husband, is adamant they sell. Nuala, their daughter, is caught between the two. Dry Rot, a new comedy by Don Creedon, depicts the absurd new realities of Dublin's housing market. Will Betty's newfound strength in recovery be enough to save the house or will financial pressures and personal differences finally tear the family apart?
Dry Rot has been in development as part of Origin Theatre Company's latest initiative with The Irish Arts Center, SCÉAL NUA. A workshop based/playwright focused weekly lab. Scéal Nua is the brainchild of Irish actor/ playwright/ producer Sarah Street.
