NORMAL by Caitríona Daly

Directed by Maisie Lee
Starring Karen Ardiff and Caoimhe O’Malley

A stellar revival of this superbly crafted play – broadcast online to the world!

Helen is mopping the floor, Phil is popping balloons, Gary has gone home early. The party is over but they are still there. There's no leaving until the popping and mopping is done. Pop. Pop. Pop…

A conversation between the mother and girlfriend of a disabled man, NORMAL explores love, power, vulnerability and the often-difficult task of learning to let go.

Written by Irish Times Theatre Award nominee Caitríona Daly, Normal is a study of motherhood, modern relationships and the often complex and nuanced role of parent or partner as care giver.

Vivaldi’s L’Olimpiade

Pavilion Theatre

Four young people, one an Olympic champion. Tangled relationships. Forbidden love, twice over. An unsuccessful assassination. An execution avoided. And a royal father who has to accept his children as they are. Irish National Opera continues its award-winning exploration of Vivaldi’s operas with the work which started the 20th-Century revival of the composer's works for the stage. L’Olimpiade brims with opportunities for all seven characters, showing their personalities and feelings through arias that range from the explosive and almost instrumentally virtuosic, to the slow explorati
