10 Rounds
Inspired by the Ombudsman's Report into the Omagh Bombing and Schitzter's La Ronde, Gebler, one of Ireland's most highly acclaimed living writers, uses casual sex as the catalyst that leads to a startling explosion. Following a group of lovers weaving a web of intrigue across all levels of society, Gebler's chilling new play grapples with the contradictions of the peace process and the lives of those it affects.

Dance Of Death 1 & 2, The

Synopsis:
Dance of Death is a piercing examination of a stifling and embittered marriage, founded on cruelty and a lust for power. the arrival of a divorced cousin further adds to the tension. the setting is a remote British army garrison island off the coast of Co Donegal, between 1913 and 1916. the political turbulence and upheaval during this period of Irish history form a fitting backdrop for this extraordinary play and give it contemporary relevance.
