Access All Areas and The Lowry
A Small Enclosed Room with Alfie Murphy leads audiences through the various worlds of Cian Binchy’s imagination, combining his signature comedic style with an alternative noughties soundtrack.
Alfie, a rockstar turned guru, is one of many made-up characters, a shark is another character, all created by Binchy in his surreal world of fantasies, failure and fame.
The production explores the question that if the person we show the world is just a mask, what’s really underneath? An authentic self? Or just stories we tell to protect ourselves?
