    TooDog Theatre Company presents
    2 One Act Plays

    Bardot Bites
    & Lucy Bastible

    Directed by Mary Curtin
    Written and Performed by Denise Quinn

    Cork Arts Theatre
    Saturday 16th April 2011 @ 8pm

    Tickets €15/€12 concession

    TooDog Theatre Co. are offering a wonderful evening's entertainment with two hilariously funny one-act plays. This production directed by Cork based Mary Curtin, is on a national tour and has met with considerable critical acclaim. It has been described as 'great fun, lively, fast moving, fearless.'

    The first play in the double bill, Bardot Bites centres on 45 year old Bid who has led a sheltered life looking after her ailing mother. On her mother's death Bid is manipulated into the world of work by her older sister 'Francine The Beauty Queen' who epitomes the sister from hell and is a super b***ch of unparalleled proportions! In her new career on the Cheese Counter of the local Deli, Bid meets twenty-one year old cousins Leandra and Leonie, both man mad and experienced hands in the dating and relationship game. Under their none too gentle tutelage Bid makes her first tentative and fiercely funny forays into the world of men and romance and in the process succeeds in teaching Francine a long overdue lesson. As one critic said 'the audience loved Bid' and there is no doubt you will too!

    If you were a woman of consequence, a doyenne of your social set, a snob from your fingertips to your toes, just how would you deal with a straying husband? In the second play, the darkly comic Lucy Bastible we enter the world and crumbling psyche of the privileged Lucy whose husband Jeremy succumbs to the youthful charms of the 'impudent, predatory, puerile' Patrice. Lucy,(described by one critic as 'larger than life and highly comedic') is not a woman to bear this betrayal lying down and she plots and executes a truly terrible vengeance on the errant Jeremy !

    Adapted by: Kevin Wyatt

    Directed by: David McGowan

    Assistant Director: David Fleming

    Ecstasy, Three Tales of a Chemical Romance is Irvine Welsh's most high profile work since Trainspotting. Released in the wave of publicity surrounding the film, it consists of three unconnected novellas. Adapted by Kevin Wyatt and directed by David McGowan, No Drama Theatre brings the third chapter, The Undefeated to the stage in the Teachers' Club, Parnell Square from the 17th to the 21st of May.

    Resonant of many of Welsh's other works, the story is set in Edinburgh against the backdrop of the early 90's rave scene. It can be described as a sly, subtle romance between Heather, a young woman dissatisfied with the confines of her suburban life and Lloyd an aging club goer.

    Edinburgh born Welsh is an acclaimed and often controversial contemporary novelist, best known for his novels Trainspotting and The Acid House. His work is often characterised by raw Scottish dialogue and a brutal depiction of the realities of Edinburgh life. To date, Welsh has published seven novels and three collections of short stories as well as writing and directing several screenplays. Shooting for a film version of Welsh's Ecstasy, Three Tales of a Chemical Romance has also begun and it is due for release later this year.

    A trip down the consumerist rabbit hole in New York City. The peculiar politics of the Sarasota, FL dinner theatre world. A Cold War era confrontation in Belgium that had nothing to do with nukes. Actor turned comedian Ashley Strand (Granary's Spring Awakening) presents a night of storytelling the likes of which Cork has never seen. Taken separately, they are three great yarns that are, at turns, fascinating, hilarious, shocking, absurd, and touching. Together they constitute a profound rumination on the entertainer's path, the challenges and sacrifices it demands, and why some people choose it in the first place.

    "The show feels like a warm night of anecdotes around the dinner table... it is a rewarding amount of fun, memorable for its natural humor, as well as for the casual charm of its more roughly stitched edges...." -- DC Theatre Scene

    "Had I read someone else's account of Mr. Strand's hapless journey through a life on the stage I would wonder why he never gave up. Having seen his performance, I am grateful he never has." -- The Washington Post

    "Strand's ability to wring the extraordinary out of the banal has a redemptive quality to it. Stories that are, on their surface, depressing laments become, under the frenzied scrutiny of Strand's neurotic over-analysis, life-affirming celebrations." -- Washington Weekender

    Ashley Strand runs The Coco Club, Cork's newest stand-up venue, along with Conn O'Sullivan. He is actor in residence at The Camden Palace Hotel Arts Centre in Cork, and is the Winner of the 2009 Hong Kong Comedy Festival. Glorified Disasters runs 9th - 11th of June at Camden Palace Hotel. Doors at 8pm, show at 9pm. Show is approximately 90 min with one intermission. Tickets are 10 euro. Now on sale at Camden Palace Hotel. To reserve contact info@camdenpalace.org. or 021-455-2383. 2 euro from the sale of every full price ticket to Suas (http://www.suas.ie/), an educational development NGO.

    Read this excellent review of Sunday Morning Coming Down

    Truman Town Theatre Company presents

    'Sunday Morning Coming Down'

    Written and Directed by Mick Donnellan

    [IMG]file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/dilly/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/msohtml1/01/clip_image005.jpg[/IMG]


    Ballinrobe playwright Mick Donnellan brings his sell-out play to Cork Arts Theatre

    2nd - 4th June @ 8pm

    Tickets €15/€12 concession

    A dark comedy that is both poignant and sad, the play takes you inside the home of the McGuire's, a family struggling to deal with the scourge of alcoholism and the social pressures that come with it. The play initially caught the eye of the Druid Theatre company in 2009 who commissioned a sell out public reading.

    Having received a good reaction, and being afforded a chance to see the work brought to life, Donnellan took the decision late last year to bring it to the stage under his own production company - Truman Town Theatre. Casting took place in January and a hugely talented group of six has been assembled for the upcoming production.

    Presenting us with razor sharp wit and a tight character-driven story, this show is a rollercoaster of comedy, tragedy, and the hilarity often associated with the darker side of a small Irish town. At times fiercely dark, and others astutely heartrending, this play offers enough ingredients to set the stage for a feast of drama and a heart breaking crescendo that will resonate with its audience for a very long time.

    "It's been a while since there has been such palpable excitement about a new play...the buzz is well merited. This is powerful theatre...[Donnellan] wows us with a refreshing blast of riveting realism."
    IRISH THEATRE MAGAZINE

    Music by Jimmy Roberts, Lyrics by Joe DiPietro

    7th to 11th June

    Tickets €15/€12 concession


    Following the success of last year's sell out run the hugely talented and energetic cast of '
    I Love You You're Perfect Now Change'
    are back in the Cork Arts Theatre. The show is directed by Mary Louise Conroy with musical direction from Thomas Doyle.

    'I Love You You're Perfect Now Change' is a hilarious musical comedy which chronicles the stages of the modern dating game. Come on a journey with many hopeful romantics as they progress from painfully awkward first dates, to hellish encounters with the inlaws and entertainingly disastrous efforts to cope with parenthood.

    "Everything you have ever secretly thought about dating, romance, marriage, lovers, husbands, wives and in-laws, but were afraid to admit"

    Cabal Theatre Company presents

    'The Comedy Improvised Midsummer Murder Mystery'

    Monday 13th to Saturday 25th June @ 8pm

    Tickets €15/€12 concession

    [IMG]file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/dilly/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/msohtml1/01/clip_image009.jpg[/IMG]
    Comedy is a murderous game!

    The show that seems to be vying for the award of longest title of 2011 - 'The Comedy Improvised Midsummer Murder Mystery' - opens at the Cork Arts Theatre on Monday 13th June and runs until Saturday 25th June. It also promises to be one of the comedy highlights of the season bringing together some of Cork's finest comedy actors and a completely improvised, full-length murder mystery.

    Imagine an Agatha Christie story combined with the zany antics of a Mel Brooks movie and the highly suspect characters from a Cluedo game and you have some idea of what to expect from this show. With no script to fall back on the actors must improvise the entire plot and its many twists and turns. All they really know for certain is that one of them will be a victim and one of them will be the murderer - but they have no idea who!

    And that is where the audience plays its part, as it always must in improvisation. The audience will decide who the victim will be and who will have done the despicable deed. They also get to decide the murder weapon. And, just to keep the actors completely on their toes, the audience will also provide what may turn out to be hilarious secrets for each character which will be revealed at random moments throughout.

    All the usual suspects will be there - the unpredictable Lord of the Manor, the secretive Reverend, the crazy Professor, the mysterious Countess, the inept Maid and, of course, the riddle-solving Detective. Or are they really what they seem? Bringing these characters to life each evening is the task for some very talented Cork actors including Laura Daly, Laura Harte, David O'Riordan, Richard Clare, Dominic McHale and Adrian Scanlan. Their experience in comedy improv will ensure that the audience won't have time to catch their breath. Their excellence at what they do also brought them to the attention of RTE as both Laura Daly and Laura Harte recently appeared on 'Republic of Telly'.

    'The Comedy Improvised Midsummer Murder Mystery' is devised by theatre director, James Horgan, who says of the show, "It is the perfect antidote to all of the economic doom and gloom we hear these days. Each evening the audience gets to join in the fun and lose themselves in the side-splitting hilarity. And they do say that laughter is the best medicine, so come along to the Cork Arts Theatre and get healthy while you have a good time!!"

    James went on to say, "Every performance of this show will be different because of the audience's involvement. People could come night after night and see a completely new story each time. That is the magic and the attraction of improvisation."

    So, with audience suggestions, random musical cues and no script in sight 'The Comedy Improvised Midsummer Murder Mystery' is set to be a deliciously chaotic and hilarious evening's entertainment. Book early to avoid disappointment by calling the Cork Arts Theatre on 021 4505624. Further details on their website: www.corkartstheatre.com

    Diwali commemorates the return of King Rama from his 14-year-long exile and vanquishing the demon-king Ravana. In joyous celebration of the return of their king, the people of Ayodhya, the Capital of Rama, illuminated the kingdom with earthen diyas(Traditional lamps). During Diwali, all the celebrants wear new clothes and share sweets and snacks with family members and friends and perform traditional activities together.

    Throughout the day, performers will sprinkle the colour of festivity, signifying the festival of lights, in a show that will delight your senses and blow you away with :

    A Mesmerising Taal Fusion- a percussion ensemble by i4drum;

    A Sizzling blend of Bollywood Ballet Dance;

    Rocking Street Performances;

    Dazzling Fusion Dance show;

    A Gangetic Journey of a Joke- Stand up comedy hosted by Dean Scurry;

    A Musical Dance Drama - Indicating the Pulsating Spirit of Ceremony by Sujan & BAPS team;

    A showcase of Music & Visual Art Work - Stray Bird;

    Grand, Colourful Rangoli - The exquisite art to mark the auspicious occasion

    A Delightful Taste of India - Authentic cuisines from ethnically diverse Indian sub-continent;
    End the spectacular day - Sky-Fest to enchant the audience.

    Square One Theatre Group are putting on a production of The Great Gatsby in The Mermaid Theatre, Bray. 11th to 15th October 2011. 8pm.

    Directed by Ailín O'Donnell, adaptation by John Dwyer, from the novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald.


    "I believe that on the first night I went to Gatsby's house I was one of the few guests who had actually been invited. There was music from my neighbour's through the summer nights. In his blue gardens men and girls came and went like moths among the whisperings and the champagne and the stars." Jay Gatsby has built his life around the dream of regaining a former love. He has even located his lavish mansion on West Egg, Long Island across the bay from Daisy's house for the sole purpose of seeing the green light on the end of her dock. A faithfully romantic dramatisation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic American novel and a stunning description of Jazz Age America - fast living, silent movies, jazz music and obscene wealth.

    Hi,

    I am running a live parody of the Jeremy Kyle show on the 29th March, in the Sugar club on leeson st. dublin.

    It's in aid of the Hospice, we have people writing it out but we are still looking for people to take part in the show, either on stage or int eh audience as family members, we want to keep it as laid back as possible, adn just want everyone to enjoy themselves so it'll be a lot of improv with one or 2 small rehearsels before hand, the show itself is the guts of an hour, but the time we are looking to fill is about 20 mins, so you're probably only going to be up there for 5-10 mins.

    Anyway if you're up for the craic, and interested in getting involved, please contact me (Rachel) on lifedrawingbs@gmail.com

    Cheers!!

    Heya, folks.

    So, I'm in this play, and it's awesome. It's an adaptation of Shakespeare's 'A Midsummer Night's Dream', set in a post-apocalyptic 1950s (think Fallout 3) and we're trying to take it to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August.

    It's a project we all believe in really strongly, so we're putting in crazy effort and everything's in place. The only problem is that it's kind of expensive, and that's where everyone else comes in. We've set up this FundIt page where people can donate money to the show, in return for some sweet rewards.

    I promise you, this show is amazing, and really deserves the audience that the Fringe can give it. If you want to support genuinely great, grass-roots theater, or if you just want a kick-ass t-shirt, please make a donation; I will love you forever. Even 5 quid would be super helpful.

    If you can't afford it, it'd be really cool if you'd pass on word to anyone you think might be interested (I'll still love you forever). :) You're all awesome. Thanks so much.

    http://www.fundit.ie/project/a-midsummer-nights-dream-1

    If anyone wants any more information about the show or Drunk Tank Productions, drop me a line.

    “Once a Catholic”, the Spring production by The Corran Players of Ballymote, Co. Sligo has one final show tonight in the Hawks’ Well Theatre, Sligo.

    once_a_catholic-460x537.png

    Once A Catholic, by Mary O’Malley and directed by Frank O’Mahoney is a touching and comic coming-of-age story of sex and nuns and rock 'n' roll. The play centres around the lives of three girls in the Convent of Our Lady of Fatima Grammar School in the 1950's during their O-Level year. The girls deal with the pressures of exams, boys and the sadistic nuns, whilst ensuring that they do not risk eternal damnation by committing too many mortal sins. But can they make it through the year with their sanity - and their regulation underwear - intact?

    The play will have one FINAL PERFORMANCE in the Hawk’s Well Theatre, Sligo for one night only, tonight 16th March 2012 at 8:00 pm. Admission is €15, and tickets can be purchased online here or by phone to the Hawk’s Well Box Office at 071-916 1518, or at the door.

    There's a spanking brand new theatre in Dublin - Smock Alley has been very nicely kitted out, there's nice acoustics, seats are comfy enough, and the first show there is a very good one - A Doll House , a contemporary (& v. funny) take on Ibsen. Really well worth seeing.
    If you want to see it before Sat, use promo code GsaPan & tickets are a tenner instead of 15.
