    “There’s this void you can’t fill... You try and fill it with booze and drugs but there’s always a void”

    What epitaph can tell a person’s story? What are we without belief? Bad Faith explores the deep psychological triggers that fashioned a young man’s life. The small-town that formed him, the father he rejected, the psychologist that changed his life… and the reasons he abandoned home, family and faith for a life on a Dutch building site.

    Returning after 20 years, the adult Gerard makes a series of painful discoveries on his road to redemption.

    Bui Bolg's Street Theatre brings the Liffey to Life


    Boasting its 5th birthday the Temple Bar Tradfest, Dublin's premier celebration of traditional music and culture, will take place from January 27th - 31st . Spectacle and street theatre company Bui Bolg will be producing the Temple Bar Tradfest Parade 2010 which will take place on Sunday the 31st of January at 1pm. The parade will start on Dame Street, on to College Street, through Fleet street and will finish in Temple Bar. The parade will honor the mythical Goddess “Anna Livia” who personifies the river Liffey, celebrating the life that she breathes into our nation’s capital through carnival, colour and craic!

    Reflecting the theme of “Anna Livia” Buí Bolg have designed and created a range of colourful, and flamboyant floats and props representing everything which has spawned on the banks of the Liffey; from Heuston station right through to the Dublin Bay Prawn. The parade will include a regal float of the river goddess herself and other more comedic characters such as stilt walking prawns, giant puppeteers, spectacular ships, seahorses and a lavish steam engine replica.

    Assisting Buí Bolg in their aquatic performance will be students from Mount Temple School in North Dublin, (school yard of Irish music and cultural legends Bono and Andrew Maxwell). Also performing on the day are young people from all across Dublin who are members of the Irish speaking cultural youth group Ogras as well as Feachtas and Cumann na bhFiann. In addition to the Dublin contingent there will be young people from Wexford, who are part of Buí Bolg's own creative youth group.The Bui Bolg team are preparing these young people for their performance on the streets of Dublin City through imaginative workshops in drama, improvisation and movement, to make this year's parade the biggest, the brightest and the best yet!

    All are welcome to come and enjoy some ceol, craic and culture at this free outdoor spectacular, at 1pm on Sunday the 31st, when Buí Bolg's parade and performers will bring the Liffey to life!

    The play is about stamp collecting which turns out to be far more dangerous than you might think.
    After their mother's death, two estranged half-sisters discover a book of rare stamps that may include several priceless items. One sister tries to pocket the windfall, while the other resists for sentimental reasons.
    In this gripping tale, a seemlingly simple sale becomes dangerous when three high-stakes collectors compicate the process, willing to do anything to claim the rare find as their own.
    After performing for local audiences in Leixlip, we will perform at eight festivals around the country during March; Derry, Enniskillen, Kildare, Carnew, Ballyshannon, Cavan, Rathangan and Scariff.

    On Q Theatre Company present

    22540_304097752209_250793382209_3325669_4407272_n.jpg

    Bursting with imagination and wit and presented by just four actors, Bouncers is an outrageous and hilarious parody of the 1990’s disco scene. The four bouncers portray over twenty different characters as we are invited for a night out on the town. We see them as giggly girls and lads preparing for the big night out as we follow their progress to the disco floor. There, we also meet an entire cross-section of disco-goers, including sleazy DJ’s, rugger buggers, pogo-ing punks and drunken slobs! The evening's events are set against the tatty glitzy glamour, flashing lights and pulsating beat of the night-club scene. Beneath the comedy lies some very serious "social comment", not so much the voiced comment but the impression of the desperately empty lives of all the characters, male and female, bouncers and clubbers.


    March - May 2010


    18 performances in 9 venues including pubs, clubs and theatres in Dublin.

    The Moat Club tackles Tom Murphy's mid 1990s play about family, greed, belonging and disappointment. Don't be put off as there is a lot of humour there, mostly in the excellent characterisations of Finbar and the priest by Paul Sheehan and Hugh Gallagher respectively. Barbara Sheridan, All-Ireland full length play winner with By the Bog of Cats, directs. It is strong stuff, with adult subject matter and bad language, but an enjoyable night's theatre which will definitely provide food for thought. However bad you think your family is, be glad you're not an O'Toole.
    Nightly at 8pm at The Moat Theatre Naas. Tickets from 045 883030 or www.moattheatre.com. Pictures from the dress rehearsal on the Moat Club's Facebook page or www.moatclub.com.

    Tavistock Arts presents

    Killer Joe

    by Tracy Letts
    Directed by Jim Ivers
    Mar 1st - 13th @ 8pm
    Matinee: Sat Mar 13th @ 2:30pm
    Tickets: €18 / 15 (concs)

    At the heart of Charles Darwin’s Origin of Species is the theory of natural selection: the process by which life accumulates random genetic changes resulting in the survival of the fittest. But what happens when there has been decay in values at the heart of the American Dream?

    In No Country for Old Men Cormac McCarthy described Texas as a place that was able to soak up cruelty and dish it back at the same time. This was never truer than in Killer Joe, the first play written by Pulitzer Prize winner and Steppenwolf actor, Tracy Letts. The play focuses on the Smith family, a selfish, dysfunctional clan of trailer-trash Texans who hatch a plan to get themselves out of financial ruin. However, when you put a snake down a rabbit hole, only disastrous consequences can follow. More a force of nature than a human being, once Killer Joe Cooper enters their world, things are never as easy as they seem and in the grand tradition of film noir, events spiral relentlessly towards an inevitable ruthless finale.

    Killer Joe is a pitch black comedy which subverts family values in a way which scrapes the darker depths of the human soul. Martin McDonagh has credited this play as the one which inspired him to revise his writing style and ultimately lead to worldwide acclaim. This production features graphic violence and adult content and is recommended for mature audiences only.

    Starring Rachel Cooke, Ciara Donegan, Jeff Doyle, Anthony Kelly and Guy Leadbetter.

    The Moat Club, Naas, an amateur drama group whose home is the Moat Theatre, is having something of a Brian Friel moment this year and is hosting a trio of Friel-related dramas.

    We've already produced Translations (ran from 13th - 17th April) and on 11th May will be staging No Hay to Save in Brooklyn, a piece devised and directed by Anne Mekitarian, which takes some of Friel's female characters and revisits their most important speeches. First presented in 1990, No Hay has succesfully toured the USA, blew the critics away in the 1995 Edinburgh Fringe Festival and was part of the Celtic Festival in Gothenburg, Sweden, in 1996. No Hay has been revived for the Friel Fest and will run for one night only, Tuesday 11th May at 8pm, in the Moat Club. It's a 90 minute show and there will be a reception afterwards with an opportunity to talk to the director and actors. Tickets (€10) from www.moattheatre.com or 045 883030.

    Finally, to end the Friel Fest, we bring you Philadelphia, Here I Come! from Tuesday 15th to Saturday 19th June. Anne Mekitarian will be bringing her substantial experience of interpreting Friel to bear on this delightful play, definitely one of the classics of the Irish canon. Shows at 8pm nightly. Tickets (€15 and €12) from www.moattheatre.com or 045 883030.

    If you've already seen our Translations, you can still benefit from the Friel Deal which is all 3 shows for €30. Amazing value, I know!

    You can 'like' the Moat Club on Facebook, or check out our club website www.moatclub.com for what's happening, how to get involved and photos of our productions.

    International Dublin Gay Theatre Festival presents

    Billy Redden

    Billy-Redden---Devolution-Poster-(Final).gif

    Written & Directed by Alan Flanagan

    Tickets €10/13/15
    www.billyreddenplay.com

    Meet Billy Redden. It’s 1971, he’s in his room, and all is (relatively) normal. That is until he’s visited by versions of himself, each from a separate time in his (apparently highly eventful) life. They’re all Billy, they’re all very different people, and they’re all too busy squabbling over how his life should turn out, to care if he should even have a say in it.

    Playwright Alan Flanagan takes us on a journey as one boy discovers that in the face of medical marvels, back-stabbing soul mates, moonlighting drag queens, and brow furrowing time travel, being gay in 1971 is the least of his worries.

    Cast:

    Billy – Blayne Kelly
    Red – Connor Hillman
    Will – Killian Sheridan
    Miss Kitty – Geoff O’Keeffe
    Mr. Redden – Liam Burke

    Written & Directed By Alan Flanagan
    Produced By Sarah McLaughlin
    Set Design By Alex Graham
    Hair / Make-Up By Jaclyn Cooper

    How to get there…. Take the Luas Red Line to Smithfield, Complex 2 opposite viewing Tower

    Evening Shows May 10th-15th 9.30 pm
    Afternoon Matinee May 15th 4.30 pm

    Hi Folks. Not sure if this is quite the right place, but figured I'd give it a go and can edit/remove the post later if there are objections to it.

    Basically, we're having a fundraiser for our show which will be part of the Absolut fringe festival tonight, in Toners Pub, 139 Baggot St. It's free entry, there's live music, live comedy, as well as fun games, cakes & other assorted things made by the cast and crew and a raffle with some cool fun prizes.


    If you're looking for something different to start your saturday night or a fun evening out with friends why not come down and check it out!

    So that's it basically - Did I mention that it's free to get in?

    Picture/flyer attached! :)
