A new play by L. Pontius, UMBRELLA is a mix of tragedy and comedy about the loneliness and despair of living in a big city and the choices we make to relieve the pressure. Two strangers on a rooftop, one a peeping Tom, the other a cutter, try to find common ground but it all changes as taboos and secrets are revealed and dreams fall apart. What began as an act of kindness turns into a war of wills. Directed by LAByrinth Theatre Company member
Padraic Lillis.

'A THEATRE TROUPE THAT'S DOING GOOD WORK SHOULD NOT BE A 'BEST-KEPT' SECRET. IT SHOULD BE A WELL-KNOWN FACT. SO I PLAN TO BLOW THE LID ON SOME COMPANIES THAT HAVE MADE ME FLIP MY LID. HOW ABOUT THE ALCHEMY THEATRE COMPANY... A BEST-KEPT SECRET THAT DOESN'T DESERVE TO BE.'
-- Peter Filichia (Theatreweek)
