The Gods Weep

“Colm has taken a lifetime to build his empire. With brutal rigour he has shaped the world around him in his own image.

”But when he decides to divide power between his subordinates, the world he has created rapidly begins to fracture. Having unleashed a bloody power struggle Colm is forced to confront the very human cost of his actions as around him the body count begins to rise. Dennis Kelly’s savage new play explores what happens when corporate greed and state security frighteningly overlap."
