Kalahari Blues

OVERVIEW

  • Playwright

    Miriam Gallagher 

  • Notes

    Kalahari Blues was originally presented as a companion piece to two other one act plays, under the title A Prime Location, which charted the comic histories and changing fortunes of a Dublin Georgian House, from its nineteenth century glory, through its decay into flatland housing and on to its early 21st Century rediscovery by boom-time Dublin.

  • Synopsis

    Kalahari Blues is set in a rundown squat in a Georgian Mansion where two young artists, a writer and painter manqué, are visited by a strange couple representing a dot.com firm who have bought the house as a base for a virtual reality business.
