Due to popular demand, The Viking Theatre added two extra dates to their otherwise sold out run of Philo, written and directed by Peter Sheridan.

Do not hesitate and grab your tickets while they're available for Monday 27th of May and Tuesday 28th of May.

Peter Sheridan’s latest play is a poignant and hilarious tale of the lives of two women from very different backgrounds.

Philo is dyed in the wool inner city with a big personality and a big mouth to match. Sister Rosaleen, her boss, is a thoughtful woman who has embraced the religious life in the wake of a failed relationship. On the face of it, they seem like polar opposites. But they do share one thing. They are both carrying secrets and they are both running from the past. And once the truth of their former lives starts to reveal itself, they find that they have much more in common than they ever thought possible. They are both determined not to be beaten down by the system and their cheerfulness in the face of adversity shines through and brings this drama to a heart-warming and unexpected resolution.
