Grimm Tales – TU Dublin Conservatoire.

The Brothers Grimm stories have been retold countless times over the past two centuries, and these fairy tales present us with a world of fantastical stories that exist in enchanted forests, stone castles, soaring towers and bottomless seas, featuring archetypal characters. These tales are still resonant for these challenging and frequently bizarre times we live in, as Schiller writes: “Deeper meaning resides in the fairy tales told to me in my childhood than in the truth taught by life.”

Now, TU Dublin Conservatoire's graduating year 3 Drama class present a vivid, exciting, physically poetic and visually arresting version of Grimm Tales, by Phillip Pullman, and adapted for the stage by Phillip Wilson, where these stories will be told with infectious energy, a bold physical swiftness of play, with a great deal of fun for the whole audience! Directed by Michael McCabe, with a beautiful design by Lisa Krugel, original composition by Brian Wynne and choreography by Ella Clarke, these fairy tales will be accompanied by an incredible live 8 piece orchestra under the musical direction of Kevin Hanafin, and promises with the incredible creative talent of 14 actors to be a magical theatre production that you simply will not wish to miss.

The Plough and the Stars

Abbey Theatre

The Plough and the Stars was first performed at the Abbey Theatre in 1926. The audience rioted. Now regarded as a masterpiece, this provocative play is an essential part of our understanding of 1916. Recently performed during the centenary of the Easter Rising, Olivier Award-winning director Sean Holmes returns with this production of Sean O’Casey’s absorbing play. Set amid the tumult of the Easter Rising, The Plough and the Stars is the story of ordinary lives ripped apart by the idealism of the time.

Wild Swimming

Bewley's Cafe Theatre

Nell and Oscar meet on a beach in Dorset. It's 1595... or maybe 1610. Oscar has returned from university and Nell is doing f**k-all. They will meet here, on this beach, again and again, for the next four hundred years. Stuff will change. As it does with time. They will try to keep up. A kaleidoscopic exploration of cultural progress, Wild Swimming is an interrogation of gender, privilege, friendship and the thrill of plunging into the unknown.
