Ăber dieses Buch
Northern Ireland, 1989. A farmhouse window smashes, and rebellious Fianna Devlin crashes back into the life of her pious sister Alannah. Together for the first time in years, when they're forced to confront their tyrannical father's hideous legacy, all hell breaks loose. Fuelled by Taytos, gin, 80s tunes and a chainsaw, Meghan Tyler's surreal Crocodile Fever is a grotesque black comedy celebrating sisterhood whilst reminding us that the pressure cooker of The Troubles is closer than we imagine.

Information
Act One
It is the hot dead of night. The air is oppressive â a thunderstorm threatens to break. The kitchen of the Devlinâs isolated farmhouse, refurbished in the very late 70s/very early 80s; cream laminate cabinets, pale tiled flooring, a modest stove, a wooden table, matching chairs.
Downstage right is an entrance leading to the hallway, where the staircase is â this is covered by a curtain. Stage left is a door that leads to the outside world, accompanied by a little telephone table with a mirror hanging above it. Upstage, over the sink, there is a large window, which stares out over the clammy darkness. A helicopter sounds overhead. Occasionally a searchlight sweeps across the fields outside.
The room is uncomfortably clean. Various male-heavy religious figurines, and an old photograph of a happy family, are the only tolerable knickknacks. A woman cleans the stove â precise, intense, hot. This is ALANNAH DEVLIN.
After a few moments she stops. She timidly glances to the hallway before dislodging a loose floor tile. She tuts, scolds herself, and ducks into a cupboard to much on a stash of Tayto Cheese and Onion crisps â staring at the floor tile grudgingly.
After a moment, ALANNAH dashes to the floor tile, loosens it again, and removes a pristine packet of Superking Menthol Cigarettes and some incense. Ritualistically, she lights the incense as she shuffles to the door. A frog croaks, unnoticed by ALANNAH.
ALANNAHâs attention is slowly drawn, ever-fearfully outwards as she becomes aware of someone singing âSome Say the Devil is Deadâ by The Wolfe Tones outside.
FIANNA: (Off.) âSome say the divil is dead, the divil is dead, the divil is dead, Some say the divil is dead and buried in Killarney-
ALANNAH:
FIANNA: (Off.) âMore say he rose again, more say he rose again-
ALANNAH:
ALANNAH cautiously approaches the door.
FIANNA: (Off.) âMore say he rose again, and joined the British Army!â
ALANNAH swings the door open to reveal FIANNA DEVLIN, a wreath round her neck, a smile on her face.
FIANNA: Well, our one!
ALANNAH:
FIANNA: Whatâs the fucking craic like?
ALANNAH shuts the door in her face.
ALANNAH: No. No no no, never no-
FIANNA: Stop snoozinâ will ye? Let me the fuck in.
ALANNAH:
FIANNA: Quit acting the maggot like-
ALANNAH: Thereâs nobody home!
FIANNA: What are ye sayinâ?
ALANNAH: Thereâs- oh, Sacred HeartâŠ.
FIANNA: Want me to blow the door off the hinges here?
ALANNAH: Oh, please⊠oh, Lord have mercyâŠ
FIANNA disappears. ALANNAH peers through the letterbox. She sighs. Says a small âthanks be to Godâ. A rock smashes through the kitchen window.
ALANNAH: Fianna-!
FIANNA: Well!
ALANNAH: The- the window! You- you broke the window!
FIANNA: Itâs just a window.
ALANNAH: Why in blazes would you break it?
FIANNA: I couldnât hear ye.
ALANNAH: That is no excuse to break it!
FIANNA: Youâll thank me later â sure itâs muggy to all fuck tonight. Iâve let the air in.
FIANNA starts to climb through the window.
ALANNAH: Goodness gracious, stop!
FIANNA: What stick has crawled up your arse now?
ALANNAH: You- look, you canât just utilise a broken window as you would a front door.
FIANNA: Eh, I believe I can utilise a broken window when the front door was so lovingly slammed in my face, so-
ALANNAH: Sacred Heart! Stop! Your boots!
FIANNA: What about my boots?
ALANNAH: Well⊠they are filthy, and the worktop is so shiny and perfect and you can not- will you please- can you please not-
FIANNA: Open the door then.
ALANNAH: Eh- well- w-w-well, no, I-âŠ
FIANNA: Wise up, Allie. Do you want the searchlights to catch me, like?
ALANNAH: I- I- I...
