Safe House

This event has ended

Abbey Theatre, Thursday 3rd October - Saturday 9th November

When the world doesn’t want us or isn’t enough, we make our own worlds.

In an outdoor handball alley in the Irish countryside – amongst rubbish and debris – a young woman, Grace, is living alone.

Through song, music, recorded voice, and film, we’re outside looking at Grace and then inside her fractured thoughts – trying to make some sense of it all. Her past arrives broken and chopped up. The present skips forward and days flip into night, seasons jarring into one another.

SAFE HOUSE is a song cycle, a gig, a smashed-up memory play played out in a handball alley.

Synapses

Civic Theatre

A NEW play about love, memory and the romance of parenting. Synapses is a fast-paced comedy drama where two young parents try to mine the past for the key to their future. Mike and Emily have separated for a year and are constantly rowing about money, access and parenting styles. They can't go on like this. One fateful afternoon, for the sake of their young son, they try to find a better way. It all goes wrong, it all goes right and a little electrical fault spins them (and us) back and forth in time in search of the truth.

Homesick

The Pearse Centre

Jason emigrated to Perth three weeks and four days ago. Jason returned home from Perth three weeks and three days ago. Unbeknownst to his family, he’s been hiding in his childhood bedroom in Leitrim while fielding their facetime calls and queries about the weather down under. It’s only a matter of time before it all goes tits up. A one-man show about how grief shapes us, fear paralyses us and sometimes emigrating can mean coming home. It’ll all be sound in the end. Won’t it?
