A gripping, urgent drama on power, identity, and a woman’s fight to stayAbout this EventThe Dead ManDirected and Translated by Szilvi Naray, Written by János HáyThe Dead Man is a powerful, topical play about identity, power, and the cost of autonomy. At its heart is a woman who refuses to be defined by the expectations placed upon her, challenging what it means to belong, to remember, and to move on."It is a metaphor for what happens when a relationship dies and one person from the couple wants to resurrect the relationship without any consideration or understanding that time has passed and they are pretending they can just step back in to the relationship" (Dir. Szilvi Naray)Set against the backdrop of war, the play explores how conflict reshapes lives far beyond the battlefield, especially for women.It asks difficult, uncomfortable questions: Who gets to decide when the past is over? What do we owe to those we once were? And what happens when someone refuses to return to who they used to be?Raw, thought-provoking, and strikingly relevant, The Dead Man speaks directly to a world still shaped by war, displacement, and shifting power.This is not comfortable theatre. It’s necessary theatre.Content note: Themes of war, grief, and domestic conflict.Ticketing: Concession and low-income tickets available. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/salford/ignition-stage-presents-the-dead-man/100001987743039941 - **Event Categories**: art, theatre, performances, entertainment - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 5, max: 10, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Salford - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: MediaCity UK - **lat**: 53.4722265 - **long**: -2.2968896 - **full address**: MediaCity UK, Prestwood Road, Salford, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Ignition Stage Presents: The Dead Man - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/4d7d33001924c241eb8d23b7d2e9e55135f8bb6312bd2eb33ad7d2f9c4b7a0ef-rimg-w750-h422-dc010101-gmir.jpg?v=1777379937 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Ignition Stage Presents: The Dead Man being held? - **A:** Ignition Stage Presents: The Dead Man takes place on Thu, 21 May, 2026 at 07:30 pm to Sat, 23 May, 2026 at 09:00 pm at MediaCity UK, Prestwood Road, Salford, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing Ignition Stage Presents: The Dead Man? - **A:** Ignition Stage Presents: The Dead Man is organized by IgnitionStage. - **Q**: Who is this event for?

Our productions have played to both local and national audiences at the Lowry Theatre, Hampstead Theatre, the Royal Northern College of Music, the Hungarian Cultural Centre Covent Garden and 24:7 Festival. Our productions were critically acclaimed – see our reviews at Press/Previous Productions.By producing translated contemporary drama from central and eastern European nations, we wish to contribute to bridging the gap between ‘us’ and ‘them’, by demystifying the idea of foreign plays and, therefore, foreign cultures. We aim to achieve this by selecting thought-provoking, yet entertaining, plays that translate well onto the British Stage in the English language." } ] } ] ```
