Red Kettle Theatre Company Presents RIDDLEY WALKER By Russell Hoban.

‘Extraordinary…a hero with Huck Finn’s heart, lighting by El Greco and jokes by Punch and Judy…Stunning and Delicious’ …New York Times

One of the most imaginative and original novels of the 20 th Century - set 3000 years in the future – where mankind is back living in settlements in a kind of primitive Iron Age – Riddley Walker – dog friendly and a happener hops over the fence and sets off on a quest for knowing. Adapted for the stage by the author, the play is a hugely visual, physical and storytelling feast – with puppetry, spirits, dead towns and rain and Riddley Walker – “Walking my riddles where ever they’ve took me and walking them now in this here place the same”

Ruth Draper delighted audiences with the characters she scripted and performed during a distinguished career of more than fifty years. Her astonishing single-handed achievements make her a legendary figure of 20th Century theatre.

“Vanity, Vapours and Dizzy Debutantes” presents, what Terry Wogan would call a “nosegay”, of Ruth Draper’s celebrated characters, to Irish theatre lovers as well as allowing them the opportunity to spend time with Ruth herself. Arranged and directed by Mary Curtin, Director of last year’s successful Three Penny Opera in the Spiegeltent, this production delighted audiences at this year’s Cork Midsummer festival and Mary is looking forward to bringing something a little different to the Imagine Festival audiences in Waterford.
