As part of the Trash Culture Revue we're delighted to present Magazine. In a dead end of a big City we meet Katie, who pushed and shoved her way to the top, never stopping – until now. Paralyzed by the death of her best friend, Katie is faced with an identity she cannot understand; a life she cannot keep up with and a relationship she has ignored and abused for a life time. Tripped over by time and memory she becomes the voices and characters of her past in a relentless effort to make sense of who she is, what she has become and how she will continue in the future. A fast paced drama that explodes with characters Magazine is about city life, the media, living the ideal, and coming to terms with loss and grief. Established in 2009 by Rachel Yoder and Jennifer Rogers, Roundhouse is becoming a strong Irish theatre production company. With its focus on experimental theatre and new writing, Roundhouse Productions has been awarded funding by Cork County Council since 2009 for the production of 4 shows: Lipstick, Spitting Love, Romek and Julie and Magazine. Of which Lipstick has toured as full production throughout County Cork; and while Lipstick and Spitting Love both received 3/4 star reviews at the Edinburgh International Fringe Festival, Roundhouse Productions won the overall festival Puzzler Award for graphic design.
