Have you ever tried to build shelves only to have them collapse and smash the wedding crystal? Or opened another bill when your account is in the red? What's your breaking point?
Pigeon is about that final straw, the story of an ordinary man caught in the crossfire. Tony has done the same job for twenty years, and then things change… He goes into DIY overdrive. Fixing things and sifting through his belongings, he can't decide what to keep and what to throw away. Is he losing his job, his home, his wife or his mind?
A wonderfully wordless production filled with fascinating character masks performed to an upbeat soundtrack by Jack Cawley and Steve Wickham (The Waterboys). More

Following its success at Dublin Theatre Festival in 2011, The Blue Boy returns to Dublin. Urgent and vital, it deals with the experiences of men and women who were incarcerated as children in Catholic residential care institutions. The Blue Boy combines startling choreography with live music, recorded interviews, multi-media, and film to reveal stories of childhood abuse in Ireland. This compelling work evokes hidden violence and gives intense physical expression to the anguish experienced by those who were silenced - it is essential watching for our times.
Contains material that some may find disturbing.

They await the arrival of the town's people to their home. Everyone, from the Mayor to the Blacksmith, the Colonel to the Courtesan will be there. It is possible the Emperor himself may attend. Because tonight, after a long life of bewilderment and underachievement, the old man has finally decided to tell all. He will reveal who he really is, what he should really have become, and, ultimately impart the secret of what life is really all about - a message that may indeed have the power to save humanity!
