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 Kerryman

Glass Mask Theatre

Cait is an artist newly returned to Dublin, determined to get her life back on track and prove to her mother that she’s not a total fuck-up. Eoin, a proud Kerryman, is working in finance for his sins. He has very different plans- graft hard, retire early, and go home to run his parents’ farm in South Kerry. When they meet, Cait knows one thing: Eoin is absolutely not her type. He's obsessed with GAA (and his mother) and wouldn't know an easel from his elbow.
