A Tale as Old as Time… with a Twist!
Trump is orange, Elon’s his mate,

And Claudia Winkleman in the tale as well…
This is Beauty and the Beast like you’ve never seen it before!
St Corban’s National School proudly presents a completely unexpected version of Beauty and the Beast at the Moat Theatre, 12–14 May.
🎟️ Tickets available soon – exclusively through the school.
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…

Tom Crean: Antarctic Explorer
Tom Crean, the intrepid Antarctic explorer and one of Ireland’s unsung heroes, is brought to life in this dramatic and humorous solo performance by Aidan Dooley.
Hear the riveting true stories of Crean’s Antarctic explorations as one of the few men to serve with both Scott and Shackleton and survive the three famous expeditions: Discovery, (1901 – 1904); Terra Nova (1910 – 1913); and Endurance (1914 – 1916).
Crean’s story is a testament of human fortitude against all the elements of Antarctic, his 36 mile, solitary trek to base camp during the Terra Nova expedition to rescue his comrades Teddy Evans and William Lashly has been described by Antarctic historians as “the finest feat of individual heroism from the entire age of exploration”.
