1984 return with a new production of Harold Pinter's The Caretaker, one of the truly great plays of the 20th Century.
A young man, Aston, brings a vagrant, Davies, back to the West London house he maintains for his brother, Mick, a builder with ambitions to transform the place. Mick is initially disturbed by this intrusion, but eventually offers Davies the position of "caretaker", both of the house and of his disturbed brother.
From the simple premise of three men jostling for control of one room, Pinter fashions a vividly realised microcosm of the world outside, and shows the ways in which people deceive themselves and each other, offering us absurdist comedy along the way.
This production reunites director Pat Burke with actors Ed Jackson and Des Slowey from last year's successful production of Copenhagen, and is not to be missed.
It runs:

Tues. 13th to Sat. 17th October, 8 pm at
T@36 (The Teachers' Club), Parnell Sq.
Tickets are €15/11 conc.
Bookings are on 0871423160

Press Release – 13 October 2009

Dublin Youth Theatre presents Half 3 Heroes
A brand new specially commissioned play for Dublin Youth Theatre by Sarah & Steve (RTÉ 2) co-writer and star Emmet Kirwan
Monday 26th – Saturday 31st October 2009, 8.15pm, Project Cube, Project Arts Centre, 39 East Essex Street, Dublin 1

13 October 2009; Dublin Youth Theatre (DYT) were delighted to confirm today that they will be back in Project Arts Centre for their new show, Half 3 Heroes from 26th – 31st October 2009. Half 3 Heroes takes you into the near future, into the world, thoughts, chats and slags of a group of teenagers, thrown together by changes in a turbulent education system, as they try to come to terms with their own identity as well as the rapidly changing societal identity of a new ‘Ireland.’

Emmet Kirwan, a former member of DYT, worked closely with the youth theatre members to produce a script that would provide a true representation of the voices and experiences of young people in Ireland. Kirwan wanted to remain true to their experiences and not traditionally perceived ideas associated with teenagers. This is not the first time Kirwan has permeated the language of young people living in Dublin, he also co-wrote with David Coffey (Dan & Becs), the new Accomplice TV/ RTÉ comedy series Sarah & Steve, in which he also plays Steve.

Half 3 Heroes is the first show Willie White has directed during his 3 year tenure as Artistic Director of Dublin Youth Theatre and will be the last performance under his guidance before Gary Keegan (Brokentalkers Theatre Company) takes over the role later this year. For White Half 3 Heroes reinforces the credibility in the belief that the teenage years are the most formative in an individual’s life and that young people have something to teach us about the world we’re creating for them to ultimately sort out. Commenting on the show White said ‘This is a great opportunity to work directly with the members - I’m looking forward to getting really strong performances from the large cast of over twenty’

Tired of the same old panto’s at Christmas? Want to see something different to get you into the spirit of the season? Well, look no further than the current offering from Glencullen Musical and Dramatic Society. ‘Season’s Greetings’ is a play that captures the humour, chaos and tension of family time at Christmas and is guaranteed to send audiences home with a smile on their face and a spring in their step.

“The play takes place over a couple of days during the Christmas period, set in an English household and revolves around the different relationships between family and friends as they gather to celebrate the season”, says Tom Ronayne, Director. “It is fast paced, laced with black humour, drama and comedy with a fantastic cast who are working hard to do justice to the great script penned by Alan Ayckbourn”.
