Áine Gallagher: For the Love of Milseáin

This event has ended

Smock Alley Theatre, Friday 28th March

Award winning comedian and Ireland's “queen of the offbeat” Áine Gallagher, is on a mission to prove that speaking Irish can be both accessible and hilarious.

Following an incredible year where 2024 saw Áine embark on a national sell out tour and be listed among the Irish Times 50 People to Watch, Áine is back using her quirky and deadpan style as her secret weapon as she navigates Irish language learning, mistake-making, dating and mug-cake-baking to create a wholly unique comedy experience. A comedy experience that is bilingual and that guarantees to reignite your grá for the language and unlock your cúpla focal, even if you don’t know a word.

Known as Ireland’s only guerrilla Irish language enthusiast, Áine has been travelling the length and the breadth of the country with her Cup of Focals (a literal cup brimming with Irish words). Understanding the nation’s widespread fear of engaging in the Irish language, Áine mostly jumps out at people from behind trees, hoping to surprise them into chatting Irish with her.

However, in “FOR THE LOVE OF MILSEÁIN“, audiences can sit back, feel inspired and enjoy Áine’s tales, like when she met our president Michael D Higgins and other similar disasters in her own journey to learn Irish.

With her deadpan, offbeat and wholly unique style, there is no doubt Áine will ignite your passion for Irish, even if you don’t know a word.

Eureka Day

Gate Theatre

High up in the hills of Berkley, California, is Eureka Day; an independent, alternative school where liberal values and inclusion reign supreme. Every child matters and is welcome in this progressive paradise. That is, until a health scare shakes the parents and community to its core. As the executive board attempt to navigate the crisis, we see that mumps might not be the only thing that’s contagious. This Irish premiere of Jonathan Spector’s timely comedy EUREKA DAY has taken London and Broadway by storm. Roy Alexander Weise directs an international ensemble including Motherland’s P
