The Madonna of Asia

This event has ended

The New Theatre, Tuesday 28th April - Saturday 2nd May

Once Asia’s brightest star, Rin Asari (Mai Ishikawa) was poised for global fame with the release of her first film in English. But soon after, she vanished. It’s 2014. Rin, in her forties, lives quietly in Dublin. By chance, she connects with Tara (Clare Barrett), a woman living in Hong Kong, bringing up the past she has tried to forget. When Rin receives an offer to return to the screen, she must confront what she left behind.

Inspired by the golden age of Hong Kong cinema, THE MADONNA OF ASIA weaves together live performance, vibrant projection and multilingual storytelling. Moving between myth and memory, this piece traces a woman’s journey from icon to exile – and back to herself.

To Hell in a Handbag

Pavilion Theatre

To Hell in a Handbag by Helen Norton & Jonathan White. The Secret Lives of Canon Chasuble & Miss Prism. This subversively funny take on Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest returns for a 10th anniversary tour, having sold out previous runs in Ireland & the UK. While others are preoccupied with cucumber sandwiches and railway cloakrooms, two minor characters from Earnest are up to their necks in something else. A country rector and a governess, models of Victorian propriety in public. But in private? This is the play behind the play: a tale of blackmail, false id
