by Deirdre Kinahan, directed by Sinéad Mooney Two Dublin cousins, Damian and Kevin, are reunited for a family funeral in a highly charged encounter full of disillusion, denial and dark laughter. Damian (Dermot Campbell), the estranged son of the deceased, is not exactly welcome in the family home, his arrival certain to dredge up the tragedies of the past. It falls to his cousin, Kevin (Hugh Gallagher), neat, artistic and awkward, to defuse the tension created by Damian’s unexpected return.

This punchy short play by acclaimed Dublin playwright Deirdre Kinahan will represent the Moat Club on the All-Ireland one-act play circuit this autumn. This is the home run in advance of a month of competitive drama festivals around the country. Please come and give Sinead and her cast a good send off!

Hue and Cry is by arrangement with Nick Hern Books

Marianne, a physicist, and Roland, a beekeeper, meet at a party. They hit it off, and go for a drink. Or perhaps they don’t. They go home together, or maybe they go their separate ways. Perhaps Marianne is engaged to someone else, perhaps Roland is. Maybe she breaks his heart, maybe he breaks hers. Perhaps they come together and their love story can finally take root and grow, or perhaps it will be tragically cut short. 

Nick Payne’s beautiful play, Constellations, explores how even the smallest change in our lives can dramatically alter the course we take. It is a spellbinding exploration of love, science, quantum theory, and infinite possibility for heartbreak or for hope.
