Waiting for IKEA (Wicked Angels) is the side-splitting story of friendship, family, community and sunbed obsessives. The critically acclaimed production premiered at the 2007 Dublin Fringe Festival where it was nominated for The Bewley's Café Theatre Award and The Fishamble New Writing.
Moonshine Travellers (Patrick McCarry) It's Ray Harknett's first night on the job as a roadie. Mentored by a veteran stagehand, Ray takes on the task of being an 'amp jockey' to help raise funds for his own band's promo EP, Neon Love.
Seven Times Me (Zupakat Productions UK) an autobiographical solo theatre show written and performed by Kat Francois. A hit at the Edinburgh Fringe festival 2007 and the Adelaide Fringe Festival 2008, the show brings to life her childhood upbringing in an impoverished, abusive but lively home and her struggles with a British establishment as a black woman.
Three Weeks (Zupakat Productions UK) combines storytelling, poetry and dance, to deliver a poignant representation of a woman's life.
Other Peoples Stuff (Independent Youth Theatre) Somewhere between Heaven, Hell, Brown Thomas and Primark, there is a shop. You are invited into the world of Other People's Stuff. Hosted by Gravity and Levity, this show contrasts the nature of our expanding universe with our increasing dependence on the greedy nature of consumerism.
Stags and Hens by Willy Russell (Rail Theatre Company)
Whacker Murphy's Bad Buzz (City Theatre) a one man comedy play from acclaimed writer Edwin Mullane and directed by Tom Hickey. "Mullane's writing is fluent and skilled, with overtones of Irvine Welsh." The Stage.
