[now known as Sean P Hutchins] As a young boy growing up in Artane, Sean wrote compulsively, winning many awards for his poetry and short stories. He began writing plays seriously when he was twenty eight, much due to the encouragement of the playwright Aodhan Madden. Noah and the Tower Flower was his first play, and was produced by Fishamble: the New Play Company at the Axis Theatre, Ballymun in April 2007, for which Sean received the Irish Times Best New Play Award and the Stewart Parker Trust Award. Fishamble subsequently commissioned Sean to develop Big Ole Piece of Cake.

Big Ole Piece of Cake

Big Ole Piece of Cake
Dublin lads Colin and Ray are out of work, out of grub and nearly out of fags. On a whim, lonely ex-teacher Clarence brings the two brothers back to his cottage in Wicklow. In the course of an electric evening, the unlikely trio bond over flagons, chicken and history lessons. But when all you really have in common is a destructive streak, how long can you play at happy families?

Bruising Of Clouds, The

Bruising Of Clouds, The
Kelly thinks Martin is a strange but lovely youngfella. Deano thinks Martin is definitely not a youngfella, and that he should keep his paws off his girlfriend. Martin thinks bad karma is going to destroy everything around him, including Kelly. . .And maybe Deano. This new play from Fishamble tells the story of an unlikely couple falling into each other, falling over each other and trying to help each other back up.

Deal Made In Drimnagh, A

Synopsis:
Part of Tiny Plays for Ireland: Fishamble, in partnership with the Irish Times, asked the Irish public what can be achieved with three minutes of stage time, what are the issues that need to be addressed, and who are the people that should be brought to life in the theatre? Fishamble received over 1,700 plays from every county in Ireland and many countries beyond. Tiny Plays for Ireland combines selected works by members of the public and dramas by some of Ireland's best loved writers to provide one dramatic picture of Ireland at the crossroads.

Noah And the Tower Flower

Noah And the Tower Flower
New flat, new start, new messy relationship - is this what Noah and Natalie are looking for? "Noah and the Tower Flower" is a tender love story about two misfits looking for love and companionship in Ballymun, or at least someone to have a vodka with. . .
