Can't think of a better way to celebrate the dead than at #WAKE @thisispopbaby.bsky.social Currently at Factory International
WAKE
WAKE ia an adrenalin filled celebration by Dublin based company ThisIsPopBaby. A wild trip to a cèilidh that must surely be fuelled on mind bending Irish moonshine.

Striking production that sees @headlongtheatre.bsky.social and Frantic Assembly combining to revisit Miss Julie for Generation Z. At HOME MCR and then touring.
The House Party
Laura Lomas takes Miss Julie to a Generation Z party that shocks and disturbs. This is a deep dive into youth culture that plunges its audience Headlong into a Frantic Assembly!!

Fabulous production of Faith Healer at The Kings Arms. Beautiful direction by David Thacker with wonderful performances from Vicky Binns, Colin Connor and Rupert Hill
FAITH HEALER
A brilliant take on Brian Friel’s Faith Healer. David Thacker uses an immersive setting to ramp up the power and intimacy of this beautiful play.
