The second poster in the series, for the upcoming Devious Theatre production ‘Smitten‘. Again, I have to stress that I merely shot the image, under direction of Mr. Paddy Dunne, and Paddy provided all of the design work and photo-shop wizardry.

Unfortunately, this time around Paddy wasn’t available for the shoot, which turned out to be a nightmare-shoot as you can see here on YouTube.

Tickets for Smitten are on sale NOW in Rollercoaster Records, Kieran Street and they are 10EURO. The show runs August 20 – 23 and starts 8pm nightly. For more information and updates, check out www.devioustheatre.com
