Trump is orange, Elon’s his mate,

The Odd Couple (Neil Simon)
This comedy follows Olive and Florence, longtime friends and members of a tight-knit Trivial Pursuit group, whose relationship is tested when Florence separates from her husband and moves in with Olive. What begins as a kind gesture quickly unravels, as the quirks they once found charming in each other become sources of irritation and conflict when living under the same roof.
As tensions escalate, their friendship spirals into mutual frustration, culminating in a chaotic and disastrous double date with their neighbours, the Costazuela brothers. The Odd Couple is Neil Simon’s witty reimagining of his classic play, blending sharp humour with an honest look at the complexities of friendship and cohabitation.

The Love Hungry Farmer
John Bosco McLaine is a man who has never lain down with a woman, but has had romantic blood pulsing through his veins all his life. Always an optimist, and virgin in equal measure, he embarks on a search for an ideal companion regardless of age, failure rate or dammed advice!… and in a community where advice is ample and women few, he follows his heart in an ultimate bid to procure himself a wife.
Often referred to as the natural successor to John B Keane as Ireland’s masterful present day storyteller, Seamus O’Rourke brings to life in this production the wistful, blundering, romantic John Bosco McLean, matching stride for stride Keane’s fantastic wit and way with words in an uproarious evening of laughter, love, hope and desire…

Shirley Valentine
Shirley Valentine is a witty, moving one-woman play that follows Shirley, a middle-aged Liverpool housewife, as she reflects on her life while preparing dinner in her kitchen. Trapped in a routine and feeling invisible within her marriage, she confides in the wall—her only consistent listener—sharing humorous and deeply honest observations about family, relationships, and the quiet loss of her own identity over the years.
When her outspoken friend Jane invites her on a spontaneous trip to Greece, Shirley is forced to confront the fears and habits that have kept her stuck. Torn between duty and desire, she begins to rediscover the adventurous, vibrant woman she once was, questioning whether it’s ever too late to change her life.
Blending sharp comedy with heartfelt insight, Shirley Valentine is a powerful and relatable story about self-discovery, courage, and the importance of reclaiming your sense of self—no matter your age.

Philo
Philo is a powerful and darkly funny play by Peter Sheridan, brought to life by the outstanding performances of Neilí Conroy and Niamh McGrath. Based on a “real person”, it follows the story of Philo — a resilient, sharp-tongued Dubliner who has endured a lifetime of hardship but refuses to give up when her family’s future is on the line.
Set against the backdrop of Dublin’s inner city, this moving and often hilarious production explores friendship, survival, and hope in the face of adversity. Both heart-warming and heart-breaking, Philo is an unforgettable theatrical experience that will stay with you long after the final curtain.
