PAN by Wilson McDowell

A giggle at a funeral. Gen Z absurdity meets ancient tragedy as Pan predicts the end of everything. A twisted, tragicomic, multimedia reboot of the Greek God's death.

I'm thrilled to be sharing a 30 minute piece of original work in progress as part of Tinderbox Theatre Company's Incubate Festival, presented in association with the MAC, on Saturday, 18th April.

🎭 My slot goes up at 7:00 PM, alongside three other brilliant artists sharing new work!

Throughout the day you can see a number of artists sharing original pieces - here in Belfast!



Tinderbox Theatre Company
The MAC

Belfast's home of international art exhibitions, the best live theatre, top shows and events, and all manner of weird and wonderful goings-on. Book here.
