Overview

Malaprop, one of Ireland’s most talked-about emerging theatre companies, makes its U.S. debut with HOTHOUSE. Awarded Best Production at the 2023 Dublin Fringe Festival, this zany, poignant story of love, loss, and legacy is set on an Arctic cruise ship that takes you—the passenger—on a journey to bid farewell to the ice caps. Sail through an intergenerational tale complete with horny songbirds, a mad captain, Rachel Carson, and wanting to change, but not knowing how.
