The Stickleback Theatre Company present The Match Box by Frank McGuinness

The ties that bind us can never be broken. A potent flame burns in the heart of a Liverpool mother trying to come to terms with a totally unexpected, irrational loss.

A stench of sulphur hangs about this compelling one woman show, and it doesn’t just come from the matches that Sal addictively strikes.

Forgiveness and revenge sit in opposing corners in this passionate story of love, hate and a search for closure. Why is she hiding out on a remote Irish island?

Here she must face her demons alone and her tale begs only one question: what would you be prepared to do for the ones you love?

“It is rare to find storytelling as sharply and simply involving as this” ???? Daily Telegraph

“So brutally powerful it knocks the breath out of your body” ???? The Times
