New Galway Theatre Group Precipice Collective Shares Bold Vision Ahead of Clifden Show

A fresh and dynamic voice in Galway’s arts scene, the Precipice Collective, took to the airwaves on GOCOM Radio’s Breakfast Show with Jason Browne, giving listeners an engaging insight into their work, vision, and creative journey.

The three-member team, led by co-artistic director Cillian, spoke about the formation of their new theatre company, which focuses on creating space for queer voices and stories. Their work blends tragicomedy and dark comedy, aiming to challenge audiences while still keeping them entertained.

During the interview, they discussed their upcoming debut production—a bold double bill featuring two original plays, Walls and Bursting, set to take place at the Station House Theatre in Clifden on Saturday, June 27th at 8pm.

Walls explores a family’s struggle with grief after the loss of their infant son, offering a surprisingly humorous take on the performance of tragedy as reality begins to unravel. Bursting follows a young man facing illness and isolation, using dark humour and surreal elements to explore themes of masculinity, communication, and inner conflict.

The group also shared the films and theatre works that have inspired them, along with their origin story and future plans. Their ambition is clear—to become a strong and distinctive voice in Galway’s theatre scene.

Their appearance on GOCOM Radio highlights the station’s continued commitment to supporting emerging creatives and amplifying diverse voices across the city.
