SUMMARY:Lord Arthur Savile's Crime
DESCRIPTION:Oscar Wilde’s Lord Arthur Savile’s Crime follows the seemingly fortunate Lord Arthur\, a young aristocrat on the brink of a perfect marriage\, whose life is abruptly unsettled by a chilling prediction. At a high-society gathering\, a palm reader reveals that Arthur is destined to commit a terrible crime. What begins as an amusing curiosity quickly takes hold of his mind\, transforming his engagement and future into something shadowed by inevitability and dread. \nIn this adaptation—written and directed by George Carroll for The Dublin Shakespeare Society—the story is brought to life in a promenade theatre style at The Teachers’ Club. The audience moves through the space alongside the characters\, heightening the tension as Arthur wrestles with his conscience and his peculiar sense of duty. Determined to rid himself of this looming fate before marriage\, he convinces himself that committing the foretold act on his own terms is the only honorable path forward. \nAs Arthur’s plans grow increasingly elaborate\, questions begin to surface: will he succeed in outwitting fate\, or is he merely stepping deeper into its design? Can morality survive when shaped by prophecy\, or does belief in destiny become its own kind of trap? Is Arthur truly in control of his actions—or has the prediction already sealed his course? And perhaps most unsettling of all: what form will this “crime” ultimately take? \n CLICK HERE FOR POSTER AS IMAGE \nOpening 26th May 2026 at 9pm \nNightly at 7pm and 9pm until Saturday 30th May 2026 \n7pm Show on Tuesday 26th not available for booking \nSpecial matinee Saturday 30th May at 3:30pm \nBOOK NOW \n\n\n\n\nBook by PHONE

SUMMARY:Table Quiz February 2026
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Teachers’ Club on the 20th February for a  \nTABLE QUiZ  \nto help raise money for two productions of four one-act plays. \nREGISTER HERE!!\n4 (maximum 5) persons per table \n€10 per person \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBobby Gould In Hell By David Mamet\, Directed by Suzanne Walshe \nThis 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? \n27 Wagons Full of Cotton By Tennessee Williams. Directed by Brigid Sweeney \nA 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. \nDead Asset Written and Directed by Ray McBride \nFour 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. \nDead 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? \nBogboy By Deirdre Kinahan\, directed by Joanne Keane. \nFrom 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.

Dunleavy). \nThe Production\nOur Autumn production\, ‘The Last Night @ the Catacombs’ is inspired by the 1940’s popular after-hours meeting place ‘The Catacombs’\, for the new Dublin Bohemians. The story starts and ends with Dickie Wiley. He recalls the fervour of those years\, the place as a safe haven and its ultimate demise. The audience will be led into the Catacombs\, taking place throughout the entire basement of Teachers @ 36 Parnell Square.\nAbout the Catacombs\nThe Catacombs was located in the underground basement of a Georgian House @ No. 13 Fitzwilliam Place. The nocturnal happenings of the Catacombs took place in the 1940’s when Dublin was an ultra-conservative\, impoverished city\, though it had a thriving artistic life. The impresario of this menage\, was an Englishman\, Richard Wyman (Dickie)\, a dandy\, eccentric and fond of the bizarre.\nFollowing the death of his officer boyfriend during World War 2\, who he referred to as ‘the Faithful Heart’\, broken-hearted he moved to Dublin. It was frequented by the new Bohemians of the day\, young\, poor\, mostly students. Aspiring\, up and coming writers and poets included Brendan Behan\, J.P. Dunleavy\, Anthony Cronin\, John Jordan\, & Pearse Hutchinson; actors such as Dan O’Herlihy\, Godfrey Quigley and Carolyn Swift; sculptor Irene Broe; others included Gainor Steven Crist\, John Ryan\, Joan Furlong\, & Des Mac Namara; the physicist Erwin Schrodinger along with some aristocracy\, republicans\, and revolutionaries. And Patrick Kavanagh. They would come from McDaids and party till the early hours. Songs\, fights\, romance\, where ‘men had women\, men had men and women had women’ (Brendan Behan).

SUMMARY:A Secret Love
DESCRIPTION:A SECRET LOVE \nAdapted as a radio play by Val O’Donnell from the short story\nThe Trusting and The Maimed by James Plunkett. \nJames Plunkett’s short story\, The Trusting and the Maimed\, is regarded as one of the author’s most engaging and lyrical stories. \nIt centres on the plight of a young\, single\, unmarried girl who becomes pregnant in Ireland in the early 1950s. It focuses\, episodically and objectively\, on the various responses of friends\, family and others to Rita Kilshaw’s predicament\, and their conditioning by the social values and strong religious beliefs of the time. \nAlthough written seventy years ago\, James Plunkett’s powerful story has much contemporary relevance\, given the serious efforts made in recent times to acknowledge the failings of some of the most powerful institutions in the State\, and wider society\, in caring for single\, unmarried mothers. \nVal O’Donnell\nMarch 2024 \nCAST\nEoin Langford\nSarah Groarke\nUna Ni Chanainn\nEmma Hurley\nDeirdre Jones\nPaul McCorry\nPadraig Denihan\nBen Musgrave\nSteve Curran\nThomas Conlon\nDirected by Mary Conlon \nNo prior booking for rehearsed readings.\nPatrons are advised to arrive early to avoid disappointment.\nThere will be a raffle!!

SUMMARY:The Comedy of Errors
DESCRIPTION:Matinee Saturday 20th @3pm\n“The Comedy of Errors” is a comedic play written by William Shakespeare in the early 1590s. It is one of Shakespeare’s earliest works and is often regarded as his most farcical comedy. The play is set in the bustling port city of Ephesus\, which is known for its trade and commerce. The story revolves around two sets of identical twins who were separated at birth and end up in Ephesus\, leading to a series of hilarious and confusing misunderstandings. \nThe main characters in the play are the two sets of identical twins: Antipholus of Syracuse and his servant Dromio of Syracuse\, and Antipholus of Ephesus and his servant Dromio of Ephesus. The two sets of twins were separated at birth during a shipwreck and each was raised in a different city. Years later\, Antipholus of Syracuse and his servant arrive in Ephesus in search of their long-lost twin brothers\, and their arrival sets off a chain of mistaken identity and comic misunderstandings. \nThe play’s plot revolves around the confusion that arises from the mistaken identities of the two sets of twins. Antipholus of Syracuse and his servant are mistaken for their identical twins by the citizens of Ephesus\, leading to a series of absurd situations. They are pursued by creditors and wives\, and even end up in jail. Meanwhile\, Antipholus of Ephesus and his servant are baffled by the strange behavior of  everyone that they meet\, who seem to be acting as if they know them. \nThroughout the play\, Shakespeare uses clever wordplay\, puns\, and physical comedy to create a light-hearted and amusing atmosphere. The play is full of mistaken identities\, slapstick humor\, and improbable coincidences. Despite the farcical nature of the play\, it also explores deeper themes such as identity\, family\, and forgiveness. Overall\, “The Comedy of Errors” is a timeless classic that continues to be popular with audiences today.\n \n \nDirected by\nNoelle Timmons \nProduction\nAnne McManus \nStage Manager\nAisling O’Byrne \nCast\nNeil Sharpson\, Deaglán Page\, Shane Cadden\, Marcus MacGabhann\, Ellen Howley\, Geraldine Maguire\, Julie Mannion\, Bernie Reynolds\, Aidan Judd\, Brigid Sweeney\, Edward Clinton\, Nathan Keogh\, Hilary Boyle\, Francesca Bianchi\, Irene Cubas\, Dáithí O Broin\, Peter Prior\, Martin O’Connor \nTickets €18 Concession rate €16  \nBookings 085 223 0251 \nBook Now Online

SUMMARY:Rehearsed Reading ~ The War of the Worlds
DESCRIPTION:HG Wells wrote the novel\, Howard Koch wrote the radio play loosely based on the novel………………….. \nNow we have a wonderful new re-adaptation of the radio play Written and Directed by The Shakes very own Ray Murray. \nSet in Ireland\, a stellar cast brings you a rehearsed reading that will have you on the edge of your seat. \nThis is one not to be missed so get there early to grab a seat! \nCast \nLiam Borgström\, \nEdward Clinton\, \nSteve Curran\, \nPadraig Denihan\, \nPhilip Gleeson\, \nEmma Hurley\, \nNatasha Lynch\, \nPaul McCorry\, \nJames McMahon\, \nRoisin Mee\, \nBrigid Sweeney\, \nNo prior booking for rehearsed readings.\nPatrons are advised to arrive early to avoid disappointment.\nThere will be a raffle!! \n							Director’s Notes \n							\n			\n			\n								\n					\n					\n						\n						  \n							\n																	\n									\n								 \n								\n																				\n									Ray Murray\, Director								\n							\n						  \n						\n						\n						  \n							War of the worlds 2023\n\nIn October 2019 a few of us went to see a radio version of\nBram Stoker's Dracula in St Ann's church. The play was\noriginally written as part of Orson Welles serialization that\nincluded War of the Worlds.1Ne loved the way the production\nwas presented with a visual representation of how the radio\nplay would look like as performed in the studio. I was\nintrigued as to what could be achieved if you were to perform\nWar of the Worlds in the same format with over the top\nsound effects and some surreal post-apocalyptic music.\n\nHaving read both the novel and the radio play I decided to\nrewrite using Irish references. This gave scope to add some\ncolour to the intentionally colourless characters in the\noriginal works. I loosely based the reporters on Irish\ncelebrities (Gay Byrne\, Teresa Mannion and a youthful TV3\nstyle reporter). Other characters such as the farmer\, the\nBrigadier and the Irish President should also be recognisable\nto our audience.\n\nThe story is broadly the same with a few alterations to bring it\na little more up to date. Wells very clearly stated that the\ncreatures were Martians. In our adaptation there is no\ndefinitive explanation given as to where they come from.\nWells also asserted that the Martians invaded as a result of a\ndrain on resources in their own planet that resulted from the\nplanet drifting further from the sun. We speculate through\nProfessor McPherson that the aliens have come to our planet\nas a result of the creatures themselves exhausting resources\non their own planet\, adding an environmental dimension to\nthe piece.\n\nRay Murray\, Director
