    Can highly recommend Waiting For IKEA in The Civic Theatre in Tallaght http://www.civictheatre.ie/Theatre.htm. It's a bit out but is easily accessible by the LUAS.

    "Little Gem" at the Peacock - three intertwining monologues delivered by three generations of Dublin women - very funny at turns and at other times poignant and hard-hitting. Mostly about disconnection and inadequacy in relationships. Very good.

    "Faith Healer" at the Gate. Haven't seen this production but heard great things about it. Owen Roe in one of his rare leading roles steals the show. Again three intertwining monologues - two men and one woman, but very compelling. Alternately spooky and mesmerizing. I spoke to the guy who lit this run and the previous one with Ralph Fiennes - he said this one is the one to go to.

    "The Playboy of the Western World" at the Millbank theatre. Can't vouch for this production I'm afraid, just love the play. Hiberno-English at its best with a funny melodramatic plot that grows very dark and speaks volumes about Irish history and the condition of the country at the turn of the 20th century.
