This event has ended

Mill Theatre, Tuesday 26th March - Saturday 30th March

Rathfarnham Theatre Group are proud to present Aristocrats by Brian Friel

The O’Donnell children have gathered for the pending wedding of the youngest daughter, Claire, while their father, District Justice O’Donnell, lies dying in his bedroom tended to by the eldest daughter, Judith. An air of decay and decline pervades the house and gardens.

First produced by the Abbey Theatre in 1979, Brian Friel’s Aristocrats is a touching and harrowing play about the decline of a once prosperous Catholic family, inhabiting the big house ‘Ballybeg Hall’ on a hill overlooking Ballybeg, a fictional village in Donegal.

The house is crumbling down as is the family. They are caught between two social and political worlds. It is the 1970s, the time of the Troubles in Northern Ireland and Ballybeg is just 20 miles away from the Bogside!

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.

Hold Me Away from the Sun

The New Theatre

Joe, seventeen, a poet, and riddled with anxiety. But what kid approaching adulthood isn't? Regardless, he always has his big sister Jane there to comfort and tell him that it's always going to be okay. She isn't even real but that's alright, Joe doesn't care about that. Though Jane does, and she is getting very, very tired of their current situation.
