Acclaimed Dark Comedy 'Mr. Bergmann of Deadman's Point' Tour comes to Roscommon Arts Centre this Saturday 26th Sept | 8pm
Nth Degree Productions brings the gripping, physically charged mystery inspired by Ireland's most famous unsolved disappearance to local audiences.
Following rave reviews, Nth Degree Productions hit touring production, Mr. Bergmann of Deadman's Point, will take the stage at Roscommon Arts Centre this Saturday 26th Sept at 8pm. Written and performed by the multi-award-winning Irish performer Ronan Dempsey, this darkly comic mystery marks a brilliant exploration of legacy, identity, and the compelling human urge to break away from the world.
The production draws intense, creative inspiration from the real-life enigma of Peter Bergmann - an unidentified man who arrived in Sligo town in 2009, systematically eliminated every trace of his personal history over three days, and was subsequently found on the shore at Rosses Point. Rather than delivering a conventional true-crime retelling, Dempsey's script masterfully frames the narrative through the lens of a fictional local embalmer, 'Balmy' Corrigan. Locked in a frantic, high-stakes battle to cement his own professional legacy, Corrigan crosses paths with a stranger entirely bent on total erasure. The result is a sharp, witty, and deeply philosophical 70-minute race against time.
Directed with precision text and featuring Dempsey’s trademark 'sublime physicality,' the piece balances the laugh-out-loud ironies of rural Irish life against heavy contemporary themes. Audiences can expect an unforgettable evening of theatre that balances two fascinating extremes: one individual desperate to be completely forgotten, and another utterly terrified of being erased.
“Deep, meaty theatre... a profound marriage of sublime physicality and precision text.” – The Arts Review
“Unforgettable, potent, and a class act till the end.” – The Galway Advertiser
