Side Show is an entertaining musical which walks a curious tightrope between being conventional and offbeat, intrinsically subversive yet surprisingly mainstream, and can’t quite seem to decide on which side of the fence it wants to fall.

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.
Stage Kiss | New Theatre
There’s a palpable playfulness to these performances, disciplined, drilled and delightful. There’s fire, bite and fun and lots of kissing.
