dlr Mill Theatre, Wednesday 13th November

Sean O'Casey's playful scrounger from the classic, Juno and the Paycock, takes centre stage at dlr Mill Theatre in this intriguing new play from the pen of Eddie Naughton (Innisfallen Fare Thee Well). With events that were to alter the course of Irish history as a backdrop, Joxer Daly Esq. charts an everyman journey from the respectable member of The Forresters Association to a vagabond scraping by with only his wit to use as collateral.

From the 1913 Lockout, to the Rising – and the events of O'Casey's classic The Plough and The Stars – to the birth of a new divided Nationalism, in Juno and The Paycock, we see it all through the eyes of a survivor like no other. Joxer Daly is an ordinary person trying to navigate the difficult waters of what was Dublin in the period leading up to the birth of a Republic. Brilliantly performed by Phelim Drew, Joxer's love of language, humour, literature and song, together with a drinkers purple recollection, makes this a performance like no other. Entertaining and funny, Joxer Daly Esq. is a thought provoking gander at one of Irish literature's most loveable chancers!

★★★★★ – Mail on Sunday.
“Phelim Drew is convincing as Joxer – the archetypal, gravelly Dub.” – Sunday Times.
“Phelim Drew is perfect for the part. He is every inch a Joxer.” – Irish Independent.
“Phelim Drew's powerhouse performance as the wild-eyed, shambling figure.” – Sunday Independent.

Before by Pat Kinevane

Civic Theatre

From the team that brought you ‘Forgotten’, ‘Underneath’ and the Olivier Award-winning ‘Silent’, ‘Before’ is a play with much music, set in Clery’s of Dublin, on the very day this iconic department store shuts – for good. Pontius is inside, trying to choose a gift for his estranged daughter, whom he hasn’t seen for almost 20 years. He will meet her in an hour. This father’s journey is both beautiful and strange, from the isolation of his Midlands home, to the madness of O’Connell Street. Some folk are impossible to buy for… Presented By: Fishamble The New Play

The Pillowman

Gate Theatre

A totalitarian regime. A missing child. A killer on the loose. A writer is arrested when a series of murders, bearing a chilling resemblance to his own stories, come to light. As two detectives chase a confession, they discover a truth much stranger than fiction. From Martin McDonagh, the award-winning writer of The Beauty Queen of Leenane, The Banshees of Inisherin and In Bruges comes a savage tale about the stories we tell to keep the monsters at bay. Directed by Olivier Award winner Lyndsey Turner, THE PILLOWMAN will open at the Gate Theatre on 9th July, with previews from 4th July.
