A Whistle in the Dark
by Tom Murphy
Tricycle Theatre, The Royal Exchange Theatre, Manchester presents the explosive Irish classic A WHISTLE IN THE DARK By Tom Murphy
“comes at you with all the freshness of a mugging last night in Leicester Square”
“Tom Murphy’s A Whistle in the Dark hits the London Stage with a devastating punch” 
Evening Standard
Evening Standard “Unmissable.” Daily Telegraph
“Brutal, sordid and brilliant.” Guardian
Guardian ”packs a punch” Metro
Metro England, 1960s: into the home of Michael Carney and his English wife come his brawling family of brothers and their father, the fire-breathing Dada. Written when he was just 25, Tom Murphy’s play remains a devastating portrait of the pull of tribalism and violence in men, and the desperate need to stand against it.
