Come see our work in the world premiere performances of WHEN IT RAINS…!
An orginal devised performance with 7 actors playing 14 characters exploring 24 hours of Dublin life in a quirky, funny and moving story.

This experienced level Theatre Performance Creation course brings together seven different actors in this collaboratively created production. Using the creative writing skills and character-based ideas from the actors, we weave together a series of situations taking place over one day. Inspired by the saying, “when it rains… it pours”, these quirky, colourful and moving characters will give you a glimpse into how they respond when plans fall apart.

EMERGENCE an Original Devised Theatre Performance Nov 13th & 14th

by Leave a Comment

Join us for a moving and humorous performance, collaboratively created to explore the challenges of eight interlinked and struggling characters in Dublin.

What forces oppress us, internal or external, and how to we emerge through all of the challenges? Developed in our Theatre Performance Creation course, we observed various random humans to begin the exploration of what would become our story. Through improvisation, collaboration, writing and singing, we created a fully staged original peformance with music. Each actor performs two physically contrasting characters in this funny and poerful play about what we do to survive.

Running time approximately 70 minutes.   Tickets €10 plus handling
