Bobby Gould In Hell By David Mamet, Directed by Suzanne Walshe
This is Bobby Gould’s day of reckoning. The conniving movie mogul wakes up in Hell’s Waiting Room. A loquacious interrogator in fishing waders enters. Gould argues his case. A woman he has wronged appears. In this one act play by David Mamet, described by the New York Times as “funny and pungent” will Bobby be damned or saved?
27 Wagons Full of Cotton By Tennessee Williams. Directed by Brigid Sweeney
A dark, one-act play set on a Southern plantation during the Great Depression. An impoverished gin owner, Jake, burns down a rival mill and then places his childlike, vulnerable wife, Flora, in the path of the rival’s representative, Silva, as he seeks to secure a cotton contract. The ensuing encounter exposes the brutal intersection of economic desperation, sexual power, and the collision of greed, lust, and fragile innocence.
Dead Asset Written and Directed by Ray McBride
Four Criminals on different rungs of the underworld hierarchy are thrust together to guard a high-profile hostage. However, when things start to go wrong, this dysfunctional crew’s already frayed relationship descends into something altogether darker and more dangerous.
Dead Asset is a black comedy exploring the extremities of human nature and the corrosive effects of mutual suspicion. This play asks: How do you find out who’s guilty when nobody is innocent?
Bogboy By Deirdre Kinahan, directed by Joanne Keane.
From one of Ireland’s most compelling contemporary voices comes a darkly comic and deeply humane story. Set against the lonely backdrop of rural Meath, Bogboy follows Brigid, a young woman in recovery, as she collides with a neighbour whose past is knotted up in violence, memory, and the shadows of ‘the disappeared’. A play that mixes grit, humour, and heartbreak, Bogboy is both fiercely local and universally resonant.
