LOVE AT THE END OF TIME

BY RODERICK FORD

In a city washed clean by catastrophe, four survivors circle each other in a strange new world of bewilderment, desire, and suspicion.

Love at the End of Time is a darkly absurd, mythic fantasy. Intimate, unsettling, and shot through with flashes of humour.

Written by award-winning poet and playwright Roderick Ford, whose work often draws on gothic and outsider perspectives, this play rewrites the boundaries between human and other, memory and enchantment, grief and renewal.

What might love mean when the old world has ended?

Directed by Aoife Spillane-Hinks, with set & costume design by Alyson Cummins, lighting design by Stephen Dodd and sound design by Carl Kennedy, the production places raw human connection at the centre of a world on the edge of the uncanny.

THE MIRROR STAGE

BY BROKENTALKERS

Brokentalkers present The Mirror Stage, a powerful new theatre work created with and inspired by people who have lived through Psychosis.

Brokentalkers invited people with this lived experience to answer a simple question: “When you imagine a theatre show about psychosis, what do you see on stage?”. The answers are memories, and stories of startling clarity that have been woven together with movement, music, and arresting visual imagery to create a performance that attempts the impossible — to make the invisible visible, and the unspeakable speak.

The Mirror Stage attempts to understand what happens when the reality you inhabit no longer matches the reality everyone else agrees on.

Brokentalkers have an unparalleled track record for creating accessible, socially urgent theatre that fosters empathy and gives voice to those too often unheard — from The Examination to Have I No Mouth and The Blue Boy. This new work challenges stigma, deepens understanding, and ensures the conversation continues long after you’ve left the theatre.

Performed in English.

GOLD IN THE WATER

BY ONE THOUSAND PIECES AND LOVANO

Bart’s fabulous life shatters when a mysterious goldfish lands on his doorstep and crashes his wedding anniversary celebrations. His husband Harvey wants to take it in, but Bart says no. Love is on the line, life-long friendships are put to the test and Bart faces a slippery predicament – risk making a change or end up all alone. Gold In The Water is the fabulous, hilarious and heartfelt new Irish musical from Shane O’Reilly with Paul Curley, composed by Denis Clohessy, directed by Ronan Phelan and choreographed by Philip Connaughton.

This flamboyant theatrical extravaganza, with original music performed with full live band, stars Matthew Malone as Bart, Domhnall Herdman as his husband Harvey, Clare Barrett as the ferocious Pet Shelter Owner and Ruth Berkeley, Tiernan Messitt-Greene, Niamh McAllister, and Rachel O’Byrne as their gang of friends and family. Gold in the Water is a cracking comic musical that looks at how we deal with the unexpected and our ability to handle something new. It’s a quirky, funny and life-affirming extravaganza for all!
