Class by Iseult Golden and David Horan.

A parent-teacher meeting goes very wrong in Class – a play about learning difficulties: in school, in life, wherever. Brian and Donna's son is 9 years old, and he's struggling. That's what his teacher says. Says he should see a psychologist. But Brian and Donna – recently separated – never liked school, never liked teachers. So are they going to trust this one? And should they? Class is an explosive triple confrontation in a classroom over learning difficulties, love and entitlement. Funny, heartbreaking and beautifully observed, with rave reviews and a sold-out run at the Abbey Theatre, Class is new Irish writing at its finest.

Edinburgh Fringe First Winner 2018.

★★★★ “A Different Class”… “hugely entertaining and immaculately performed scenes from a school room… It is a rare, successful narrative about nice people”The Irish Times.

The Devil’s in the Dance Hall

The Séamus Ennis Arts Centre

The Devils in the Dance Hall is a powerful, joyous live performance rooted in Irish social history, music, and resistance, inspired by the true story of Jimmy Gralton and the suppression of Ireland’s rural dance halls in the early 20th century; time when gathering to dance, to play music, and to think freely was seen as a threat. Drawing on oral history, folk memory, and the energy of the big-band era, Edwina Guckian has created an immersive theatre performance that brings to life the world of the parish hall as a place of movement, learning, courtship, argument, and possibility, and asks wh
