Comedians Áine and Amy are doing a show of two halves.

One half a new comedy from the “Queen of Offbeat” and award winning comedian Áine Gallagher. She’ll talk about her plans to run for president and one day work up the courage to ask the man who works in Dubray Books Blackrock out.

The other half will be rising star Amy La Grue’s premier solo show, She’s Making a Show of Herself. Amy’s desperate need for validation and people pleasing tendencies means she will spill her deepest, darkest secrets to give you a laugh.

Lily Burke will do anything to be a real girl. Even if it kills her.
After a decade living stealth, Lily is murdered by her long-suppressed subconscious, Lilith. Trapped in the purgatorial Dolldrums, she reflects on a life shaped by sex, lies, and self-sacrifice.

The Dolldrums is a modern parable about the truths we deny and the perceptions we embrace. No matter how far we run from ourselves, we can never escape who we truly are.

Hailed by Edward Albee as “the greatest American play ever written”, Our Town is set in the small town of Grover’s Corners over three acts.

In Gile na Gile, composer and singer Lorcán Mac Mathúna has set his poems to stunning new music, which he will sing to accompaniment from musicians Martin Tourish and Éamonn Galldubh.

Writing about Cnámha Scoilte/Split Bones, critic Professor Cassandra Atherton says: ‘Julie Breathnach-Banwait engages with the uncanniness of place and the politics of memory in prose poetry with electrifying rhythms and beguiling cadence’. Her work explores family, landscape and history, taking the reader from the shores of Conamara to the deserts of Australia. Tonight she will read to live music from composer and concertina player Jack Talty, interwoven with sean-nós songs from Síle Denvir, and featuring on-screen visuals created by Donegal artist Kim Sharkey.
