Grumble Theatre presents the tale of two friends: One a potential loser and the other a loser with potential.
A hilarious new comedy about two outcasts from post-Celtic Tiger Ireland, left to struggle in a harsh world of unrelenting interviews, unconventional psychiatry and unmerciful rejection letters, with nothing to survive on, apart from the dole, desperate ideas and a lot of false hope. More

Love All
a comedy about love, murder and… tennis!
From the Wimbledon finals to the hangman's noose. This is the true and terrible tale of Irish sporting legend Vere St. Ledger Gould and his mercenary wife Marie Violet. A whopping great hangover kept Gould from the Wimbledon prize, while a head in a hat box almost sent him to the gallows. The electrifying new theatre company Cheery Wild have starched their whites, re-stretched their racquets and are ready to serve a virtuoso volley of Victorian melodrama. More

Dmitrijs Gaitjukevich reckons he knows what a woman is looking for in a man. Girls' Dreams is a hilarious sketch of muscle-men, magicians and knights in shining armour that includes daring feats, a pair of very short shorts and a soundtrack to match. But there's a surprise in store for us at the end, when we glimpse into the magician's suitcase...
In I will try, Alexander Andriyashkin talks almost constantly with the audience. No such thing as sitting quietly in the dark here, he really wants to know what you think of his dance. Sounds risky, but he's up for the challenge. Are you? More

Project Arts Centre
A new work from junk ensemble is something to anticipate eagerly. Performed by an all male cast and a live children's choir, The Falling Song looks at the nature of flying and falling and the dangerous relationship between the two. Male physicality is pushed to the extreme to explore suicide, invincibility and failure. So quickly wings can be replaced by crutches. More

ELYSIUM NEVADA, nominated best new play in Irish Times 2010 Theatre Awards, is set in a retirement home not far from Las Vegas. Two grumpy old men sit and gaze at the desert as they reflect on their lives and times. Their dialogue is salty and richly comic, reminiscent of The Odd Couple 40 years on. With the awakening of a mysterious woman nearby, surprising new truths are revealed giving a poignant insight into their lives and a fascinating conclusion.
A study in wizened impotent rage, measured out in wicked one-liners…it would be tempting to call the whole thing Beckett meets Shepard Peter Crawley, Irish Times More

Peacock Theatre
These two works create irresistible theatre from the offbeat, creative world shared by Burrows and Fargion. Cheap Lecture, a rhythmic spoken performance set to music, is part rant, part philosophical comedy. Using objects, text, movement and sound, The Cow Piece is a chaotic meditation on dance, music and mortality. Delightfully absurd, funny and wise, Cheap Lecture and The Cow Piece will change what you think dance can be.
Unconventional, funny and eccentric. More
