Heart & Soul Theatre Company presents

The Grandeur of Delusions Written by Hugh Murphy Directed by Ann Brophy The Grandeur of Delusions is a monologue for two people – which is an obvious contradiction – but which in this case is depressingly true. It depicts an alcoholic talking to himself through the medium of his delusion, a girl. The absence of love and hugs in childhood is sufficient to manifest itself in Oblivion Drinking, as they try to fill the void of ‘Lacking’ which they don’t understand – and which only the temporary solution of blackouts can redress, and relieve their suffering. The play deals in an ironic and funny fashion with the trials and tribulations of families in desperationSuitable for ages 15+

Blood in the Alley Theatre Company presents

The Lonesome West Written by Martin McDonagh Directed by Geoff Gould The Lonesome West is a comic masterpiece, the blackest of black comedies, where McDonagh’s much loved characters, Colman and Valene, two brothers living alone in their father’s house after his recent death, find it impossible to exist without regular violent disputes over mundane matters. Only Father Welsh is prepared to reconcile the two before their squabbling leads to violent and bloody carnage.

Blood in the Alley Theatre Company presents

Under Milk Wood (A Reading) Written by Dylan Thomas Directed by Geoff Gould Under Milk Wood is Dylan Thomas’s unique vision of human experience hammered out of the small Welsh seaside town of Llareggub (‘Bugger All’ spelled backwards). Beautifully surreal, darkly comic and bawdy it is replete with characters who are romantic, earthy, mad, parochial and easily recognisable to all. The show opens with an omniscient narrator inviting the audience to listen to the dreams and innermost thoughts of the inhabitants. They include Mrs Ogmore-Pritchard, relentlessly nagging her two dead husbands; Captain Cat, reliving his seafaring times; Organ Morgan, obsessed with his music; and Polly Garter, pining for her dead lover.

Bigger Picture Projects present

Small Plastic Wars Written and performed by Pat McGrath Direct-ed by Alan King Amusing account how one man turned an unfilled dream to bridge the void of unemployment and recession. Joe is in total control of his world. It’s a pity that it exists only in 1/35 scale and is made of plastic. Meanwhile back in the real world there’s a competition coming up and Joe just wants to be left alone to build his models and win best in show. Unemployment has finally given him the time to enjoy his hobby of sticking bits of plastic together, but unfortunately his wife, his kids, the bank manager, his nemesis Hermann (whose real name is Brian), the checkout girl in Tesco and Angela Merkel have other ideas. ‘..Diamond of a show… Not just for anoraks or reformed modellers, this is one not to miss!’ - Irish Theatre Magazine

The Importance of Being Honest Written by Billie Traynor Directed By Liam Halligan ‘From the moment I saw you I distrusted you’. Gwendolen and Cecily, Oscar Wilde’s most famous ladies, meet twenty years later in an English country garden. Cecily is whiling her life away with rose-pruning and interpretative dance, when her eminently respectable sister-in-law, Gwendolen, turns up on a surprise visit. Before long, these two old friends are battling it out over the tea and cake. This time it’s a struggle for whose is the right way of life, as they face into a century of change and new fashion trends. It’s a meeting of unexpected revelations with some great one-liners along the way! Stars Deirdre Monaghan, Billy Traynor and Karl O’Neill.

Lock Up Your Husbands! In their most dangerous show ever The Nualas break the mould they made previously with a deluge of new songs, higher harmonies, different keys and slightly shorter dresses, if that’s possible! And there’s more: Expect new Nuala revelations, harder laughs, slicker riffs, and even tighter foundation wear... if that’s possible! When this show previewed in Dolan’s of Leitrim, at least three Gardai and a relationship counselor had to be called. As part of their ensuing community service (six weeks scooping out litter from the Shannon) the girls were obliged, as a warning, to call this sweltering new show, Lock Up Your Husbands. You have been warned.‘Saucy, sassy, racy, ridiculous.’ – EdFringereview

Decadent Theatre Company presents

Vernon God Little Written by DBC Pierre Directed by Andrew Flynn Vernon lives in a flea-bitten Texan town where his best friend has just massacred sixteen of his classmates. The town wants vengeance and turns its sights on the innocent Vernon who is arrested. Vernon flees to Mexico pursued by a media circus of outlandish proportions. This is a riotous, irreverent adventure with a fast-talking fifteen year old who cruelly ends up on a version of death row driven by the rules of reality TV. Vernon’s innate innocence exposes the nature of the American experience of justice in the eye of a media storm, and since he’s a boy of such sweetness, he makes death row a respectable address.‘The debut of one of the most original and seriously funny narrative voices in recent times’ – Sean O’Hagan, Observer

How To Keep An Alien Written by Sonya Kelly Directed by Gina Moxley Sonya Kelly (The Wheelchair on My Face) is back with a tearfully funny, tender memoir about securing an Irish visa for her Australian partner Kate. They met. They fell in love. Now all they have to do is prove it to the government. Join her madcap odyssey from the stony townlands of Offaly to the leafy depths of the Queensland bush. It’s a tricky business coming from opposite ends of the earth. It takes an Olympian will and the heart of a whale, but above all else, paper-work. It takes a hell of a lot of paperwork.

Actors Aoibheann McCann and Andrea Cleary play multiple roles in this breakneck speed production where writer Tracy Martins brilliant satirical wit shines. Ali has buried her Mother and Lisa has just dumped her useless boyfriend. They throw themselves into the party life style but soon end up out of money, running to India and making a decision that will change their lives forever. Warning: Suitable for ages 16+.

Barnstorm Theatre Company presents

Me Too! Written by Sarah Argent in collaboration with Barnstorm Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another, “What? You too? I thought I was the only one.” – C.S. Lewis. Two strangers meet for the first time. Like snowflakes, from a distance they appear the same but, look closely – they’re differ-ent, unique. Their need to transcend social/cultural differences and find ways to engage, co-operate, play, becomes for them an unexpected and creative adventure. Poetic, musical, energetic, poignant and mischievously humorous, Me Too! explores notions of ‘fitting in’; of being ‘not the same’; of ‘encoun-tering difference’. A gem which will resonate with all children whether from the same street or from different parts of the world. For children aged 4+, their teachers and families.
