The God-Bomb
After a tragic accident, introverted scientist David finds himself incapable of moving on from the past until his newest invention succeeds and his recently deceased girlfriend, Faith, finds herself once again among the living. Despite their forced isolation, Faith finds herself more alive than ever and determined to make up for lost time, leading David to quickly find himself thrust towards a future that he doesn’t belong in.
The God-Bomb was our first theatrical production at The Hope Theatre in January 2024 with our first 4 star review (mentioned below) and multiple sold out nights. Featuring talent from actresses like Nichela Farrel star of Blood and Honey 2 and first time directors and writers, this production was a great first leap for Cried Wolf promising more queer sci -fi scripts to come.

Reviews
"Reviewing fringe theatre is a really exciting experience, because you never know what you’re going to get. Plays like The God-Bomb are the reason I seek out new theatre – Jake Bickford’s new play is full of exciting ideas, just brimming with potential."
Lost in Theatreland - Mailí Ní Ghormáin
"This story is well written and really questions the morality of its subject matter.... a good piece of theatre and deserves to be supported"
Pink Prince Theatre - Neill Kovacic-Clarke
"Overall I was really impressed by PHARMAKON. It moved well, performances were intense and exciting. It was the perfect cocktail of twisted and creepy"
