Mimic


Written and composed by Raymond Scannell
Directed and designed by Tom Creed

“A compelling constellation… vertiginous, playful and poignant” – Irish Theatre Magazine

Best Male Performer, Dublin Fringe Festival 2009

Mimic is a poetic and extraordinarily prescient solo performance about a culture in economic and spiritual freefall. It is a story about a young man, Julian Neary, who becomes a professional Mimic and leaves home to get away from the culture and family life of 1980s Ireland, and about what he finds when he returns home years later. A dark satire about imitation, authenticity, and what happens to a nation that leaves its heritage behind.
