What? You haven't heard of Gavin Ahearn? Does that mean he's not such an eminent pianist? Uh-uh. It means he's been enjoying favour, for the best part of the last decade, overseas.

This fascinating play is a tight character drama with a simple yet captivating plot that deals with basic human foibles in a time of rising social and religious conservatism.

The Distance from Here | Inscription & Griffin Independent

Neil LaBute’s fatalistic view of the sense of futility and rage that exists among the underclasses of suburban America provides an interesting, though unsettling, night in the theatre.

Dancing at Lughnasa | New Theatre
A gifted embroider of words, Friel combines soft lyricism and hard meaning in his play, a tragical comical historical pastoral on a spree and spoiling for a spirited spar.
The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
In the care of Pinchgut Opera’s director, Erin Helyard, this music, formulaic as it indeed is in some respects, sprang off the page into an experience rich in emotions.
Izzard: The Tragedy of Hamlet

Unabashedly and unapologetically entertaining, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels delights in its hoax hokum, a whimsical hustle of musical comedy bustle.
Continuity | New Theatre
On the set of a big-budget Hollywood eco-thriller, the clock is ticking for an on time and under budget wrap.
