Collapsing Horse Theatre mounts three shows in six months

“We’ve had a really enjoyable journey over the last 18 months,” says Dan Colley, the company’s resident director. “But we’ve got to keep the fire under us.”

Collapsing Horse are a theatre company in a fierce hurry. Their debut show Monster/Clock enjoyed tremendous success in 2012, and toured to further acclaim in early 2013. It was followed by Human Child, a play inspired by the poetry of WB Yeats, in June of this year.

Now their new production, Distance from the Event, opens next week as part of the Dublin Fringe Festival. It’s the third show they’ve mounted in the space of six months – a risky undertaking even for an established company.
