John B. Keane's masterpiece has always been a joy and a challenge for any production. This presentation is brought to the boards by The Machine and Liam Rellis and stars a couple of actors who are no strangers to working together - Mick Lally and Mary McEvoy of Glenroe fame. Keane's play is one of violent personalities, the hardships of changing rural life and of family love. Lally plays Bull McCabe whose passion for the land he has worked on his entire life takes a hold of him. This new production, directed by Michael Scott, sees him again team up with Michael McCaffrey who created the celebrated setting for his production of The Matchmaker.

Coming soon to counties Cork, Kerry and Mayo - venue info and performance dates can be seen here:

Hi there. I'm part of a non-profit production team that is raising money for a play running from the 9th to 19th September as part of this year's Absolut Fringe Festival. Instead of doing the "same ole" pub quiz, we're holding a horse race night in Cassidy's this Tuesday night at 7pm. You're welcome to come on the night just for the craic and to support the play by placing small bets on the single-bet races. However if you, or you and a friend, would like to pool together to place 20 euro bets on the sponsored races, whereby you get to name the horse and jockey and trainer, your bet will have a 1 in 8 chance of winning 100 euro!

To let me know if you'd like to place a 20 euro bet, contact Chris between now and Tuesday on <snip>. (If you'd like to place a bet but can't attend on the Tuesday night and should win the bet, you will be contacted with information regarding collecting your reward money).

Thanks for your interest, and we hope to see you in Cassidy's, on Westmoreland street, this Tuesday at 7pm for a great night in support of Fringe!

Wakeup Call written & directed by Joseph Ryan
Custard and Jam by Rosalind Ni Shuilleabhain & directed by Jill Thornton

Wakeup Call
Over the course of one sleepless night, Mort, invading the bedroom and recruiting the help of his reluctant and sleep-deprived best friend Jeffrey, attempts to win back/take revenge on the ex who just dumped him.

Custard and Jam
Have you ever questioned just how normal the various thoughts and voices swimming around in your head are? Have you ever had a conversation in your head, telling someone else all the things that you would never be able to say in reality? Do you remember the pressures of the teenage mind- CAO worries, doubts about your physical appearance, young love? This play deals with all these interesting topic’s and as no-one would willing admit to hearing voices, it is all taboo. But what would happen if the voices took over, if your own voice shrunk into the back round? Join us as we explore one girl’s search to deal with all these fears and doubts and to answer the vital question “which voice is my voice?”

Written and directed by members of Dublin Youth Theatre.

Fringe 2-in-1 at Project Upstairs, which runs as part of Absolut Fringe on September 17, 18, 19, 9pm.

PREGNANT?! (45 mins) is a surreal performance lecture delivered by a pseudo-pregnant male. Described as a "magical and totally original and accessible experience" (London Artists Projects), PREGNANT?! brings its unique deadpan humour to Dublin following development work at the Battersea Arts Centre and Shunt (London).

After a short interval, Project Arts Centre will keep the bar open and you are free to wander in and out of the second half with Origamibiro & The Joy of Box (1 hr). Electronic music meets abstract visual experiments, resulting in an explosion of double bass and ukuleles, infra-red video and origami flower shredding. "Its not just guitars and beats that find themselves looped up by the trio, but the tear of paper, the flicked corner of a book and the rip of sticky tape. And as if the plethora of sounds weren't enough, they come packed with lashings of visuals." - BBC Manchester Online

To be included in the draw for 2 free tickets to the opening night on Thursday 17th September and a CD from Origamibiro, send the name of any two of the evening's performers to ene@toupstage.com by Monday 7th of September. See video of both shows here

Chapter Theatre Productions presents The Mai by Marina Carr.
Cast: Anntoinette Hilliard, Judy Donoven, Tess Healy Maguire, Claire Jackson, Maria O'Callaghan,
June McCarthy, Marina Lawlor and Taylor Lane.

Set in the Irish midlands whose landscape becomes the arena in which Marina Carr's Gothic epic
expands, The Mai revolves around Millie's narrative of the desperate loves of her mother, a woman
faithful to a man incapable of loyalty. For years she has spent hours contemplating Owl Lake and
waiting for his return. In a house of proud, mad and sometimes comical women, she and her daughter,
her sisters, her aunts and her grandmother, a Spanish beauty and sixty-year widow of a
nine-fingered fisherman, weigh their second chances as the legend of the lake unfolds in Marina
Carr's exquisite and fearless tragedy.

I Can't Remember Anything by Arthur Miller

A whimsical little pieve full of wry humour set in New England. It gives us an insight into the long-standing friendship between the middle-aged widow Leonora and her late husband's best friend, Leo.

Bar and Ger by Geraldine Aron

This widely acclaimed tragicomedy tells the simple tale of the bond that develops between a brother and sister against a backdrop of domestic unrest. Through intensely dramatic snapshots, ranging from the poignant to the hilarious, we follow Barry and Geraldine on their path to adulthood, all the time recognising their antics and altercations shades of our own past.

One Night Stand Off by Martin Lindsay

This is a comedy about singles and social graces after a night that went so right goes so wrong the next morning. Rachel and Greg hit the town - to the surprise of both they wake up in bed together the following morning - an awkward situation made worse as details from the previous night begin to filter through.

Tickets: €15/€12

I've seen a few productions by Stage Mad and in particular this director, James Power is excellent. Their next production is called Sandbox and stars an actor, Brian Quinn, who has taught many a top workshop with the Boards Drama Group.

In Sandbox, three American soldiers find themselves caught in the no man’s land of “Ambush Alley”, near the border of Iraq and Syria. Ted McClain and Jason Platt are fast tracking soldiers, looking for action and quick promotions. They convince Ramona Valdez to join them in an attempt to capture a supposed insurgent near the Syrian border, while also lining their pockets with anything they can steal. After a firefight goes horribly wrong, the wounded three find themselves trapped with Hassan, a suicide bomber, determined to kill himself and the infidels who have invaded his country. Sandbox is the story of young people at war, prisoners of their situation as well as their own beliefs. This play is running during the Imagine Arts Festival.

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:

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’

Peter Pans by 50% Male Experimental Theatre

After a huge success of the preview last weekend, D-light Studios will host 50% Male Experimental Theatre with their performance; ‘Peter Pans’ on the 19, 20, 21, 22 of November.

Choreographed by Anna Gáciarz, Peter Pans explores the syndrome of the same name, a generation of people who don’t want to grow up, who find it difficult to express love. Peter Pans – people with the body of an adult but the mind of a child.

Peter Pans is a combination of physical theatre and contemporary dance theatre technique.

This debut performance by an experimental dance/theatre company, comprises of 3 male and 3 female performers with wildly different back-stories, complimentary skills and a tendency to crack up at tender, ‘sensitive’ moments. They are from Poland and Ireland. They are dancers (and stilt-walkers), office workers and visual artists. The group first got together in February 2009 and found they had an amazing chemistry; their months of work has resulted in this universal tale about a certain generation of people (their generation) who don’t want to grow up; a generation of Peter Pans..

Come over to D-light Studios, Dublin1 and immerse yourself in an amazing spectacle that tells a story we have all have experienced in people we know or, even more so, in ourselves.

Shows start at 8pm sharp and tickets at the price of €10 are available online at peterpans.d-lightstudios.com and in the box office.

You can check also our facebook page here. And feel free to pass this email on any of your friends.

“BAD FAITH”
A New Play by O. J. Ryan

T@36 Theatre - The Teachers’ Club, 36 Parnell Square West Dublin 1
Feb 1st – 6th @ 8:30pm
Ticket Prices €15/12 (conc. Student / Unemployed)

“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.

Directed by Noel McCarthy
Written by O. J. Ryan
Starring Ben Mulhern
Produced by Zagmar Productions

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

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.
