Dublin, 1941: while war rages across Europe, Dublin revels in its prized neutrality as its theatres and bars remain open for business. A hotbed of intellectual and cultural high-living, the city is home to an excitable rabble of exiled intellectuals, British spies and Nazi sympathisers. When a series of coded messages transmitted in the form of a radio programme draw the attention of M15, a young code breaker is sent to investigate. His enquiries lead him into a series of improbable situations and encounters with the likes of John Betjeman, suspected of being a British spy, Erwin Schrodinger, taking advantage of the intellectual (and sexual!) freedom Dublin has to offer, and the surrealist Irish Times satirist Myles na gCoaleen. Inspired by real events, Improbably Frequency brings these three historical figures together as elements in a surreal series of absurd plots to overthrown the British, undermine the Nationalists and subvert the forces of nature.T01787750662Company Rough Magic Theatre Company.
