Described as eco-disaster meets tech-dystopia, The Delirium Archive is the new production from Rough Magic. Running at Project Arts Centre in Dublin until May 9. Blending sci-fi and humour, with ominous memory collecting gadgets and a toxic yellow fog, reminiscent of an Irish Black Mirror episode. You can grab your tickets here.
