A story about living in someone else’s home, performed on the sets of other people’s plays as part of the Dublin Theatre Festival.

A mismatched trio rent a house owned by an elderly woman now living her last days in a nursing home. Unlikely housemates, they try to find a connection in the short time they’re here – and a space for themselves amongst the stuff of her entire life.

Playful and boldly inventive, this vagabond new play will criss-cross the city to borrow the stages of other festival productions. With no two performances taking place on the same set, each iteration offers a completely unique encounter. The Abbey Theatre is delighted to host this performance on Katie Davenport’s set design for Enda Walsh’s world premiere of SAFE HOUSE on the Peacock Stage.

A world premiere from Stewart Parker Trust Award winning writer Kate Heffernan (In Dog Years I’m Dead, Peat), Guest Host Stranger Ghost is a hilarious and heart-rending cry for a moment of stillness in a life of transience.
