Distance Fromthe EventWritten by Eoghan QuinnAn entire human colony on a distant planet has gone missing. Mel has been working on the case, but gaps are starting to appear in the paper trail.

Collapsing Horse, the creators of MONSTER/CLOCK, will once again bring their unique brand of storytelling to the stage, in this surreal, fantastical and thrilling vision of the future. Developed at FRINGE LAB with the support of Dublin Fringe Festival.

An Evening withDon BakerIrish singer, songwriter, guitarist and harmonica player Don Baker is to mark 40 years as a professional musician with a new album, My Songs, My Friends featuring a star-studded line-up of guests. The man affectionately known as The Don became a professional musician in 1973, having initially been inspired to take music seriously while in prison. His expressive skills on the harmonica have drawn accolades from artists as varied as Bono and Christy Moore. At the close of the upbeat Little Rock’n’Roll Band Finbar Furey sings, “Come on, Don, write me one more song.” That sentiment superbly encapsulates the esteem in which Baker is held in by fans and musicians alike. This promises to be a special show so book early to avoid disappointment.

On Q Theatre Compnay presents

Stones in His PocketsWritten by Marie JonesAn isolated Irish community is turned upside down when an American film crew arrives to make a Hollywood blockbuster. The villagers recognise a good thing when they see it and are soon earning plenty of money as extras. But it’s not long before there’s friction between the Hollywood big-shots and the locals. From local lads with dreams of making it in the movies to burly Scottish security guards and glamorous Hollywood divas, two actors bring to life a multitude of extraordinary characters in one of the most riotously funny and moving plays of the last 20 years. This is an amateur production by arrangement with Nick Hern Books.‘Hilarious and irresistable’ - Sunday TimesContains occasional strong language

Yet, as their initial reserve begins to melt and they decide to spend the night together, the possibility of a genuine and meaningful relationship begins to emerge – the first for both of them. ‘…the play is the equivalent of sitting at ringside watching a prize fight that concludes in a loving embrace.’ - New York TimesContains strong language and sexual references.

Red Kettle Theatre Company in association withGarter Lane Arts Centre presents

Beyond theBrooklyn SkyWritten by Michael Hilliard MulcahyDirected by Peter SheridanThey grew up together, dreamed together and emigrated together from the West Kerry town of Brandon in the late eighties. America didn’t quite fulfil their dreams and they returned home, chastened but wiser. Things happened between them, things of the heart and things of the purse, things that were never resolved. And now they gather to welcome home one of their own, Jack Flynn, who has flown solo across the Atlantic. It should be a celebration...But the ordinary can be extraordinary…The past is a powder keg waiting to explode...the only question is who will strike the first match?

Fishamble: The New Play Company presents

Guaranteed!Written by Colin MurphyBack by popular demand. On the night of September 29, 2008, the Taoiseach and Minister for Finance decided to guarantee Ireland’s banks – to the tune of €440 billion. Guaranteed! tells the story of that night, and how they got there. Written by journalist and documentary-maker Colin Murphy, and based on official documents and off-the-record interviews, Guaranteed! reconstructs Ireland’s banking boom and bust - as it was seen from inside the corridors of power. You will come away informed, enraged and perhaps a little heart-broken. We have stripped back our assests for a recession friendly, bare-bones presentation where we will hold on to our scripts, while you can hold on to your wallets.‘Cleverly crafted farce makes us laugh ‘til it hurts’- Fintan O’Toole

JK Drama presents

What Would Ma SayWritten by Kathleen DoyleIn this hilarious play based on the best-seller of the same name, Kathleen Doyle introduces us to her remarkable family and their exploits growing up in Dublin in the 1950s and 1960s. Ma is an ordinary woman with very little education behind her but she learned to survive and handle life. She was the backbone, the one who kept them together as a family, just about keeping their heads above water. But through all the poverty, Kathleen and her brothers and sisters had a laugh turning their kitchen into a swimming pool on a hot summer’s day, or trying to hide a stolen pig in the bath. What Would Ma Say is a nostalgic and poignant reminder of a Dublin that’s long gone.Contains some strong language.
