Stumped

This event has ended

Bewley's Cafe Theatre, Monday 23rd June - Saturday 19th July

A summer afternoon in 1964.

Two great playwrights… Beckett and Pinter. One very sticky wicket!

Before Samuel Beckett became the playwright universally known for Waiting for Godot, he was a cricketer. He is still the only Nobel prize-winner to feature in the pages of Wisden as a first-class player.

His friend and fellow Nobel prize-winner, Harold Pinter, whose best-known works include The Birthday Party and Betrayal, described cricket as ‘the greatest thing that God created on earth’.

Stumped is a brilliant absurdist comedy, which explores the friendship between these two great men and the strains imposed upon it by the most civilised of summer sports.

Pavilion Theatre

Ireland’s dance theatre vanguards, CoisCéim Dance Theatre are back in Dún Laoghaire this summer with DANCEHALL BLUES – the award-nominated triumph from Dublin Fringe 2024! David Bolger’s “expertly ingenious” (The Irish Times) duet unfolds in a surreal dancehall at dusk, where reality and imagination blur. Two performers, Emily Kilkenny Roddy and Alex O’Neill, dance with fearless abandon, their powerful movements cutting through chaos to ignite hope in a world where dreams and nightmares collide. Bold, gripping, unmissable.
