Mortal Sin

This event has ended

Bewley's Cafe Theatre, Monday 18th August - Saturday 6th September

In the wake of JFK’s assassination, Colm and Peggy, two best friends in the town of Cundannon hatch a plan – stage a protest and get a day off school to honour the fallen U.S. president. Sure, they got one when the Pope died?

Mortal Sin is a bold, heartfelt, and sharply witty exploration of what it means to grow up different in an Ireland where the Church controls everything from the classroom to confession.

Through rapid-fire monologues, character switches and flashes of fantasy, Colm and Peggy paint a vivid portrait of their world, from Sunday mass to Audrey Hepburn.

Blending satire, nostalgia, and righteous teenage frustration, Mortal Sin is ultimately a celebration of friendship – a small but defiant stand against the silence and shame that shaped a generation. Colm and Peggy stick it to the man… well, Sister Assumpta anyway.

Kathryn Maguire—Material Acts

Pallas Projects/Studios

Pallas Projects/Studios are pleased to present Kathryn Maguire—Material Acts, the sixth exhibition of our 2025 Artist-Initiated Projects programme. A sculptural re-mapping of sacred and ritual geologies. Maguire’s work examines the ritual and magical possibilities of minerals as deeply embedded alternatives to the comparatively recent regard for minerals as purely extractable commodity. Red stain oozes out of the cave walls and dries. This substance, Ochre, a ferrous rock, when ground into a powder and mixed with water, saliva, or urine, creates an impressive substance for use on
