The Rising of the Moon

This event has ended

Bewley's Cafe Theatre, Monday 11th March - Saturday 6th April

Lady Gregory's THE RISING OF THE MOON is a thrilling and comic political allegory that’s as provocative now as when it was written in 1907.

A secluded pier on a moonlit night. Officers of the state search for a dangerous rebel recently escaped from gaol. They fear he will flee by boat.

As the Sergeant keeps solitary watch, he encounters a poor singer who will challenge his authority and his loyalties.

Lady Gregory’s The Rising of the Moon is a stark exploration of nationalism, the tensions that arise from it and the questions we ask ourselves when our beliefs are challenged. One of her best-known plays, it is a tense and comic political allegory.

The Manny

Civic Theatre

A dark comedy about an Irish male nanny who works for rich single mums in West London. In it, Manny is enjoying a Peter Pan-esque lifestyle of well-paid cash in hand work & settling for meaningless dates with women who harmonise happy birthday with their eyes closed, just to disguise himself from the fact that he’s letting life go by without following any real purpose, or allowing himself to really feel anything substantial or lasting.
