The Chronicles of Oggle

The Chronicles of Oggle

This event has ended

Smock Alley Theatre, Tuesday 3rd August - Saturday 14th August

Meet Pakie. An orphan, a storyteller, an adventurer, a survivor.
He may not be the sharpest sandwich in the toolbox, but Pakie knows a thing or two about the history of his native town – from the vicious Vikings, to the less-than Christian Brothers.

Pakie’s a laugh a minute… but Pakie’s got secrets. Secrets the God fearing people of Oggle may not be ready to hear.

Starring Peter Gowen (Charlie, Love/Hate, The Butcher Boy), and directed by Donal Gallagher (Big Chapel X; What I (Don’t) Know About Autism, Abbey Theatre), this is a hilarious and heart-breaking story of small towns and even smaller minds.

The Merchant of Venice

dlr Mill Theatre

dlr Mill Theatre present The Merchant of Venice by William Shakespeare A deal gone very wrong. “If I can catch him once upon the hip, I will feed fat the ancient grudge I bear him.” In Shakespeare’s uncompromising and problematic play, the contempt hurled at the ‘other’, festers and grows. In a world where racial prejudices, mistrust, and the engrained belief systems of two opposing traditions come to a boiling point. Revenge is the currency used to right a wrong.
