Life is sweet. Good job. Pretty wife. A nice house in the suburbs. Shame about the past, creeping up behind you…
Charlotte is back on track, thanks to support from her steadfast husband Malcolm and son, Evan. She thinks she’s found another lifeline in her new friend, Shane. But Shane knows more about her idyllic life than she realises. And just how to destroy it.

On a day in May 2015, the Republic of Ireland became the first nation in the world to introduce marriage equality by popular vote. This is the story of the long fight that led to that day, of the in-fighting along the way, and of the seminal campaign that finally won it. It’s a story, too, of ordinary people whose lives were caught up in the struggle, drawn from Charlie Bird’s landmark collection of interviews.

Edna O’Brien revisits her era-defining debut novel in a new stage adaptation.
All of Edna O’Brien’s novels published during the 1960s were ruled “indecent and obscene” under the Censorship of Publications Act. This started when the publication of The Country Girls caused outrage. It was banned in Ireland by the authorities and publicly burned by the clergy.
Notoriety quickly turned to fame and this coming of age story of two young women in 1950s Ireland became a best-seller.

Ruby Way, The Monk, and the Neuroscientist
We can’t stop the future from arriving, no matter what drugs we’re on. But even if nearly every part of us becomes robotic, mechanical fingers crossed we’ll still have our minds. Hopefully we’ll use them for things like compassion, instead of just chasing what’s ‘better’ like a hamster on a wheel. If we can do that, we’re on the yellow brick road to happiness.
With a little help from monk Gelong Thubten, who explains how the mind works, and neuroscientist Ash Ranpura who explains where everything that makes us ‘us’ can be found in the brain.
How to be Human is the show you need to help you upgrade your mind as much as you’ve upgraded your iPhone.
This is the follow up to Ruby’s sell out shows ‘Sane New World’ and ‘Frazzled’.
Tickets: €25.00
Date & Time: 30th April from 8:00pm
Time
(Tuesday) 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm
