Join us for an afternoon of Oscar Wilde with Neil Titley's Work is the Curse of the Drinking Classes. Presented in a special, limited run and performed by actor Will Govan, this wonderfully witty and sincere show will teleport audience goers to 1898 Paris, one year after Wilde’s release from prison.

The Good Crank

Viking Theatre

Kitty Clog is an ageing woman who is determined not to go quietly into that good night. Lots of attitude, a motley crew of supporting characters (all played by star of Father Ted and Fair City Rose Henderson). Kitty takes us with her on a rollercoaster journey to find her lost man. Threading a blurry line between humour and pathos; yearning and farce; belonging and marginalisation, The Good Crank is an exploration of the flip-flop existence of an older woman at odds with the world she has been squeezed into.
