Notorious Irish Murder Mystery Camp

This event has ended

EPIC Museum, Wednesday 2nd November - Thursday 3rd November

In this two day camp, EPIC’s detectives are trying to solve a case, and we’re enlisting only the most brave and fearsome recruits to join us as we dive into the darker side of Irish history.

Uncover those figures who made a notorious name for the Irish around the world, like legendary Wild West figure Billy the Kid; fearsome pirate of the Caribbean Anne Bonny; William Lamport, the Wexford man behind the mask of Zorro; Bootlegger, bank robber and gangster, George “”Machine Gun”” Kelly, and more.

Participants will work together to build case studies of the suspects, as they hear the tales of the Irish that have challenged and sometimes even changed the law – for better or worse.

Mapping places and connections, solving clues, quizzes and riddles, acting out scenes, drafting wanted posters, diary excerpts and newspaper articles and more to help bring history to life, they’ll attempt to solve the EPIC murder mystery – discovering whodunit before the countdown clock expires on day two!

The question is: are you up for the challenge?

This camp is suitable for ages 7 – 12 years old. Parents do not need to accompany children to the camp. Children are asked to bring a packed lunch to the camp and anything else they need for the course of the day.

MARS

Abbey Theatre

Four astronauts and an AI software interface are cooped up in the cabin of a space-craft for nine months on a mission to Mars. As they journey across the vast abyss of space, tensions rise, relationships are tested, and seasons of Real Housewives are watched and re-watched. Arriving on the red planet, they confront isolation, sinister ideologies, the prospect of alien life, and a vibe shift toward corporate authoritarianism. MARS is an opera about space colonisation, reactionary futurism, pronatalism, the madness of hustle culture, and the unsettling futures encroaching on our present.

The Weir

3Olympia

Brendan Gleeson makes a long-awaited return to the Irish stage ahead of his West End debut in Conor McPherson's The Weir. And there's no dark like a winter night in the country. And there was a wind like this one tonight, howling and whistling in off the sea. You hear it under the door and it's like someone singing. Singing in under the door at you. It was this type of night now. Am I setting the scene for you? The tallest tales reveal the deepest truths. Conor McPherson (Girl from the North Country, The Brightening Air, The Hunger Games) directs his spellbinding masterpiece THE
