Co Production with One Productions.
A fast moving, humorous adventure with a dark twist, Skin Deep tells the story of a photographer, a journalist and a student whose lives are changed forever by one artist’s obsessive desire to be famous. Set in contemporary Dublin, the drama revolves around ambition, desire and a missing foot.
Skin Deep was originally produced at the Project Arts Centre Dublin by Gúna Nua Theatre and won the Stewart Parker award for playwright Paul Meade. Skin Deep was also nominated for an Irish Times Special Judges Award for its groundbreaking use of multimedia. Skin Deep has since premiered in Romania and America.
