In the dim light of Pins and Needles, something dark is stirring…

From the basement, Alice stitches, mends, and waits. Seven months of cutting, ripping, and sewing herself back together.

But on this night of Samhain the spirits are watching. The forgotten girl with the face all torn will rise.

Set on Shandon Street in 1989 audiences are dragged deep into a world where the past lingers and the walls whisper.

Sinister, unsettling, and unrelentingly atmospheric - this haunting site-specific play is not for the faint of heart. For those who dare, Stitch promises an unforgettable theatrical experience.

From the acclaimed team behind Gone Full Havisham (Irene Kelleher, Regina Crowley, Cormac O'Connor), and presented by Mighty Oak Productions, Stitch is a chilling exploration of the monster and maker in all of us - sick, slick, and impossible to look away from.
