🍕PIZZA GUYS Vs VAMPIRES 🧛🏻‍♂️

On this day, the eve of #samhain AND the eve of the launch of #pizzaguysvsvampires it seems appropriate to mark the occasion(s) with these shots/bts (check out the magic of make-up artist @megan.v.brown)

I’ve played a werewolf before, but this pops my vampire cherry. Gotta say… it’s a stupid amount of fun 🧛🏻‍♂️

Written & directed by the nicest, most talented guy in the business @matraney , alongside partner-in-crime @dominictherusso Produced by @danielcotroneo and @_flashback.pictures Designed by the brilliant @fusilli_jerry_ (check out those g-sticks, yo!🥖)

This is action-packed, dumb A-all-F, and very funny!

Kudos to the cracking cast and stunt folks.

🍕Vs 🧛🏻‍♂️ - Launches Tomorrow, November 1st. (details to follow)

Actor Neill Fleming and director Alan Smyth - the creative force driving SHARD’s chilling intensity.
Alan Smyth, a talented actor in his own right, has been with Shard from the very beginning, through its sold-out runs in Los Angeles and now with this powerful Dublin production. Performance meets precision.
Together they’ve crafted a one-man descent that’s been haunting Dublin audiences.
🎟️ Final performances through Nov 8 at Bewley’s Café Theatre.

Today is the official Ireland premiere of SHARD by @stewartroche at the legendary @bewleyscafetheatre

This play is dark, funny, thoughtful, and cautionary. It’s also a cracking yarn. And, quintessentially Irish☘️. Stewart is one helluva writer.

It’s rare the perfect play finds the perfect actor. I can’t say enough about how good @neill_b4_zod is as ‘Spooner’ At times dangerous; then, incredibly vulnerable,; to vengeful-timid-tortured- would-be torturer. As unreliable a narrator as you could wish to find! Neill leaves it all out there, continually mining the depths of a broken, lost individual. It’s beautiful to watch.

It’s truly been a pleasure to direct this piece. My sincerest thanks to so many folks. Neill and Stewart, ye are rock stars!

So much appreciation for:

Producer: @the.eb.co
Sound Design: @amelia.anello 📻
Lighting design: Colm Maher💡
Set Design: Martin Cahill 🧱

To David, Iseult, and everyone else at @bewleyscafetheatre ….🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Special thanks to @rachel_rath @ciac.la @thepublican @mollymalonesla

Running until November 8th - TICKETS IN BIO!
