Present Laughter - Tuesday, 17th June 2025 (20:00)
The Moat Club presents another sparkling comedy for the summer slot. Present Laughter is a brilliant comedy of manners, oozing with charm, panache and verbal wizardry.
Gary Essendine, a self-obsessed actor at the height of his powers and fame, is advancing, with reluctance, into middle age. He is the object of many infatuations – from young society girls to obsessive writers – and is at once addicted to the adulation he attracts and weary of it. “Everybody worships me, it’s nauseating!” cries our histrionic hero. As he prepares for a theatrical tour of Africa, his personal and professional success is threatened when his extra-marital affairs stray too close to home.
Tickets €18/€16

Crooked House Theatre Company: Is Mise Éire Eile - Wednesday 2nd July 2025 (20:00)
Crooked House Theatre Company Presents:
Is Mise Éire Eile: I am another Ireland
The true story of a community grappling with itself after the arrival of 100 international protection applicants.
Conceived and Directed by: Emily B Ditkovski
Written by: Yassine Barkaoui, Serena Giordanengo, and Members of Crooked House Theatre Company.
On a rainy evening in autumn 2023, the staff of The Gables, a small guesthouse in Newbridge, prepared to welcome 100 international protection applicants. As buses carrying men seeking asylum pulled into the new direct provision site, they were met by hundreds of Newbridge residents who had gathered in the rain to protest their arrival.
The protests lasted weeks and shocked the city with its own ability to hate.
Is Mise Éire Eile tells the story of a community grappling with itself following the protests and coming to terms with its new residents. With text from interviews with the applicants themselves, community members, and local leaders—and performed by Crooked House’s company of international performers—Is Mise Éire Eile shares the stories of these men and provides hope for building stronger communities.
The production runs for 80 minutes with no interval.
The performance will be followed by a panel discussion with company members, local community organisers, and elected officials to discuss practical tools for building more harmonious communities.
Tickets €20 plus €1.50 booking fee

✨ HUE & CRY by acclaimed Dublin playwright Deirdre Kinahan will be directed by Sinead Mooney. In it, two Dublin cousins, Damian and Kevin, are reunited for a family funeral in a highly charged encounter full of disillusion, denial, and dark laughter 😂.
🎬 Moat Club Chairperson Samantha Coventry will take on BABY STEPS, a brand-new play by Moira Mahony & Sarah Fahy. BABY STEPS made its debut in this year’s one-act festival circuit and was first runner-up in the new writing section of the All-Ireland One-Act Drama Finals. Ash and Chris move from their hometown of Galway to Oxford in an effort to fix their broken marriage and escape the small-town gossips. If that wasn’t hard enough, they’ve thrown in the one thing guaranteed to test even the strongest relationship – building a flat pack!
🎭 Finally, Mary Newman directs TRIFLES by Sarah Glaspell. Set in a prairie farmhouse in the early 20th century, the County Attorney and Sheriff investigate a murder in which a woman is accused of killing her husband. The female characters look at the situation from a woman’s perspective and come to their own conclusions, leading them to a difficult decision …….
