Rising Moon Productions and David Thacker Return

Rising Moon Productions present an arresting new production of American Buffalo by David Mamet, directed by Olivier Award winning David Thacker (Former Octagon Theatre Bolton artistic director). Coming to Salford’s The King’s Arms from March 14th – 24th 2024.

A junk shop. Midwest America. Three small-time crooks plot to carry out the midnight robbery of a coin collection. In the hours leading up to the heist, friendship becomes the victim in a conflict between loyalty and business.

Full cast includes Colin Connor Warhorse (World Tour); Girl from the North Country (UK Tour), David MacCreedy The Full Monty (UK Tour); Bouncers (John Godber Company) & John O’Neill Boat Story (BBC); Coronation Street (ITV). With assistant direction from Oliver Hurst (Red Brick Theatre).

Director David Thacker said today: I’m delighted to accept the invitation from Rising Moon Productions to direct American Buffalo at The King’s Arms. Without any arts funding, Lisa Connor has created one of the most important fringe venues in the North West and I’m keen to support her ambition to stage high-quality, accessible, affordable, home-produced professional theatre. Lisa hopes that American Buffalo will be a catalyst for a year-long sustainable programme – collaborating with local creatives to deliver accessible, exciting and diverse theatre and I hope I can help advance this aspiration. I’m excited to have the opportunity of working again with Colin Connor, David MacCreedy and John O’Neill.

American Buffalo comes to The King’s Arms from Wednesday 14th  – Saturday 24th March.
