Writer Christian O’Reilly said: “For years, I wanted to write an ambitious, sprawling family drama with a rich gallery of great characters. This play is the result. Set during the emotional time-bomb of Christmas, Ferocity is funny, infuriating, dark, unpredictable and messy - just like any family. I am thrilled to reunite with Andrew Flynn to bring Ferocity to fruition at the gorgeous Mick Lally Theatre and I’m excited by the brilliant cast and creative team he has assembled. I can’t wait to present Ferocity to audiences in Galway.”
