Bewley's Cafe Theatre, Monday 15th May - Saturday 3rd June

Dublin 1942

As the war in Europe rages with a ferocity unmatched in history, the young Irish Free State watches with growing concern. Its strategic importance to both Britain and the Nazis means its fragile neutrality is constantly under siege.

Irish Army Intelligence confronts the increased spy activity in Ireland with an unorthodox approach, the most daring of which is the formation of a unit comprised of female agents. After they complete basic training, Joan, Norah and Ellen are assigned their first mission- infiltrate the German legation in Dublin and acquire information about Nazi spies at large in Ireland.

We then jump forward to 1947. On the eve of her departure to Berlin, Joan bumps into Ellen at her going away party. As they reminisce about old times, Joan soon discovers that Ellen has a score to settle.

This fast paced, female-led genre piece which will thrill fans of history and spy stories in equal measure.

Wild Swimming

Bewley's Cafe Theatre

Nell and Oscar meet on a beach in Dorset. It's 1595... or maybe 1610. Oscar has returned from university and Nell is doing f**k-all. They will meet here, on this beach, again and again, for the next four hundred years. Stuff will change. As it does with time. They will try to keep up. A kaleidoscopic exploration of cultural progress, Wild Swimming is an interrogation of gender, privilege, friendship and the thrill of plunging into the unknown.
