Directed by Claire O’Reilly\, with Toni O’Rourke as the titular Emma\, the production seeks to “rip the bodice of tradition” with a theatrical experience playfully retelling the classic story. O’Reilly also says that “We’re taking a fictional town in a British regency novel\, through an American screwball lens and then setting in the Irish National Theatre with Irish actors\, so it’s amazing”. \nSounds all very Brat like and a heap of fun. Tickets begin pricing at €15\, and the production will continue until 25 January\, 2025. \nEmma Director\, Designer + cast c.

The Holding Bones lovingly recalls a host of characters – songsters\, storytellers and mischief makers.\n\n\n\nA new original piece from Púca for adults The Holding Bones is a fitting celebration of Samhain\, All Soul’s and The Day of the Dead. At this time of year\, they say\, the veil between our world and the next is at its thinnest. Once we would have set an extra place at the table\, left the door unlocked and lit a candle for each of our loved lost kin at Halloween and remembered our dearly departed throughout the month of November.\n\nSince 1997\, award winning Púca Puppets have been producing shows for adults and children from Ballymun to Bangkok\, in theatres\, canals and other ordinary and extraordinary places. In this new show\, Lawlor\, veteran performer from Púca for nearly 30 years\, counts her ancestors on her very bones and brings them back to life on stage. Set in her studio she draws upon her skills as a puppet maker and visual artist to enrich the tale she has to tell\, as funny as it is deeply moving. In paying playful homage to her ancestors Niamh Lawlor contemplates the purpose of life. Her life.\n\nVital theatrical storytelling invites you to meditate on family\, memory and rituals of grieving and how to embrace the bittersweet turns of the cycle of life.\n\nThis will be among the opening performances of a very personal yet universal show that has been crafted over several years\, assisted by support from The Arts Council\, dlr County Council\, South Dublin Live a South Dublin County Council Arts Office initiative\, Pavilion Studio and the Mermaid Arts Centre\, Draíocht and Civic Theatres.

The story of how “a small family\, their collection of friends and one eccentric stranger distract\, entertain and enrage each other in a moment of crisis.” \nPlaywright Hilary Fannin says: “What value is prediction when the writing is splashed on the wall?

Both shows feature comedian Brian Gallagher\, resident MC of Dublin’s Laughter Lounge\, and actress Sarah Maria Lafferty. The Bad Daters recently had its world premiere at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival\, where it received five-star critical acclaim and a sold-out run.  \nLafferty\, a Dublin-based actor and producer\, began her work on both shows when introduced to Derek Murphy in 2016 during a theatre workshop in New York. \n“Both shows\, The Bad Daters and The Good Cheaters\, are captivating dark Irish comedies that deeply resonate with audiences\,” explains Lafferty. “In The Bad Daters\, we are introduced to Liam and Wendy\, who have met online. The dark comedy delves into the complexities of human connection and the daunting experience of seeking love for individuals scarred by past relationships. On the contrary\, The Good Cheaters follows the journey of Paddy and Phyllis as they navigate the treacherous waters of adultery within their own relationship. They are a perfect blend of hilarity and tragedy\, courtesy of the talented writer\, Derek Murphy”. \nLafferty’s co-star Brian Gallagher is well known as the resident MC at Dublin’s Laughter Lounge and a rising star in the Irish comedy circuit\, previously opening for Tommy Tiernan at Vicar Street. \n“Irish audiences are in for a treat”\, explained Gallagher. “We were absolutely amazed by the overwhelming response to The Bad Daters at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival\, receiving outstanding 4 and 5-star reviews from all corners. Now\, at The Viking\, we are thrilled to present an even more epic night of dark comedy-drama with the inclusion of The Good Cheaters. While modern technology may facilitate faster connections\, it cannot replace the authenticity and personal touch that define genuine relationships.” \nThe Bad Daters & The Good Cheaters run at The Viking Theatre\, The Sheds\, 198 Clontarf Road from 8th-20th April. Tickets are priced from €20. \nvikingtheatredublin.com URL:https://www.totallydublin.ie/event/double-bill-the-bad-daters-the-good-cheaters/ LOCATION:Viking Theatre @ the sheds\, 198 Clontarf Road\, Dublin 3\, Select a Country: CATEGORIES:Theatre Listings ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.totallydublin.ie/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Screenshot-2024-03-25-at-13.48.55-copy-2.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20240313T193000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Stockholm:20240323T193000 DTSTAMP:20260505T165037 CREATED:20240313T125753Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240313T125753Z UID:97094-1710358200-1711222200@www.totallydublin.ie SUMMARY:PALIMPSEST by Coiscéim Dance Theatre DESCRIPTION:CoisCéim founder David Bolger has consistently produced work of verve and daring since forming the dance company in 1995 and this looks like quintessential CoisCéim – an exhilarating\, boundary busting kaleidoscope of dance\, live music\, and panoramic projection woven together into a visceral audience experience. \nPALIMPSEST layers artforms and histories in a large-scale live performance to trace and own the ghostly-edged histories our shadows leave behind.

Samuel Yakura describes how parts of the show are autobiographical: “The story is about a young adult navigating manhood\, loneliness\, and self-discovery in a foreign place. The piece draws\, in part\, from my own experiences as a migrant. Similar to the show’s protagonist\, I came to Ireland in 2018 to pursue a masters in civil engineering. The piece is quite different from a traditional theatre show. We tell Levi’s story through a powerful mix of poetry\, prose\, and with an Irish-Nigerian sense of humour that will entertain and resonate with audiences of all backgrounds”. \nFor native Irish audiences\, The Perfect Immigrant provides a unique insight into the cultural challenges of migration. Yakura believes that stories like these will also encourage more minority cultures to engage with Ireland’s theatre and arts scene. \n“Ireland is undergoing a transformative journey towards becoming a thriving\, multicultural society. However\, there is a noticeable lack of representation in the arts and in audience attendance. By sharing stories like The Perfect Immigrant on stage\, we hope to encourage minority cultures to explore the vibrant world of theatre and arts in Ireland. Personally\, my journey as a poet has been enriched by coming here. I would encourage the general theatre community but also those outsiders to come and experience this inspiring show”. \nFollowing an award-winning premiere at last year’s Dublin Fringe Festival\, “The Perfect Immigrant” written and performed by poet and playwright Samuel Yakura and directed by Katie O’Halloran will tour theatre venues across Ireland this November. As part of this  nation-wide tour\, the play will be at The Civic Theatre\, Tallaght 9th-11th November and Mermaid Arts Centre\, Bray on 25th November. \nFeature Image: Nigerian poet and playwright Samuel Yakura photographed at Dublin’s Liberty Lane as he performs a scene from his new show “The Perfect Immigrant”.

Obtaining necessities like housing and employment proves extremely challenging. Meanwhile her sister Kathleen struggles with her new married life even as the youngest\, Noleen\, embraces the budding sexual revolution. \nBernadette’s life is changed when she gets a waitressing job at Gaj’s restaurant on Baggot Street. Margaret Gaj\, who owned Gaj’s on Baggot Street\, was one of the founders of the Irish Women’s Liberation Movement (IWLM)\, and her restaurant was a place frequented by the revolutionaries\, eccentrics and outsiders who clashed\, argued and rose up to envision a liberated and free Ireland. \nUnsurprisingly\, Bernadette’s encounters with the radical customers at Gaj’s bring upheaval and change to not only her own life\, but to her family and consequently the country. \nDescribed as “both entertaining and deeply moving”\, Sisters celebrates the pioneering women of the past while paying homage to those who lit the fire of change in Ireland. \n \nWritten and directed by Tracy Ryan with musical direction by Kaeylea B. VanKeith\, Sisters opens at the dlr Mill Theatre Dundrum at 7.30pm on Saturday\, September 24th\, and will run from October 4th-8th at 7.30pm each night with a matinée performance on 8th October at 2.30pm.
