A captivating portrayal of four elderly characters living in retirement homes around Ireland. Pat Kinevane’s haunting performance brings to life these sometimes-forgotten voices of society. This will be the first performance of Forgotten in its 20th year! ‘Drop everything. Book now...captivating, moving, and–yes–even unforgettable.’ - The Irish Times. SILENT | Fri 27 Feb | 8pm Hopeless, helpless, in-the-way person… The touching and challenging story of homeless McGoldrig, who once had splendid things. But he has lost it all-including his mind.

Is Beauty only skin deep? Does Ugliness hide somewhere deeper? This stunning play is a blackly comic, rich and vivid tale of a life lived in secret, a testament to the people who live on the fringes, under the nose of everyday life. It explores the surface, and what lies underneath. WINNER Adelaide Fringe Best Theatre Award, Adelaide Fringe Festival 2015. WINNER Scotsman Fringe First, Edinburgh Festival 2015. ‘A devastatingly brilliant piece of theatre.’ ★★★★★ Examiner.com BEFORE | Thu 16 April | 8pm A play with much music, set in Clery’s in Dublin, on the very day this iconic department store shuts for good. Pontius is inside, trying to choose a gift for his estranged daughter, whom he hasn’t seen for almost 20 years. He will meet her in an hour. This father’s journey is both beautiful and strange, from the isolation of his Midlands home to the madness of O’Connell Street. Some folks are impossible to buy for... “Soul-searching, achingly touching gem” - The Sunday Times KING | Fri 17 Apr | 8pm The story of Luther, a man from Cork named in honour of his Granny BeeBaw’s hero, Dr Martin Luther King Jr. Luther only leaves his apartment for essential journeys, and to perform as an Elvis impersonator. The play explores prejudice, privilege, and resilience, as Luther struggles to live life to the full. Developed with the support of Nasc Network Commission and Georganne Aldrich Heller “Exceptional”. ★★★★★Mervyn Stutter's Pick of The Fringe How to find us Next Item Previous Item
