10 Year Anniversary Production
March 16 - April 16
 

Mark O'Rowe classic 'white-knuckle ride through the dirty dives of Dublin' was staged during the inaugural Red Stitch season in 2002 and was nominated for a slew of awards. In 2011, Howie returns with an all new cast under the inventive eye of director Greg Carroll. A campaign of revenge against the cocksure Rookie Lee over a severe case of scabies leads The Howie Lee to stumble upon a powerful gang leader seeking more serious reprisals of his own. Howie finds an unlikely ally in his former foe as a series of freak accidents swell toward a magnificent and outlandish climax of almost mythic proportions.

 "Pants-Wettingly funny. If most theatre is for pussy cats, this play is for panthers." - Chris Boyd, Herald Sun
