Ash Wednesday Eve & Adam Fire Room, The Four Last Things Lost Song Night Bus, TheAsh Wednesday
Synopsis:
Set in Dublin, this is about four 20-something friends living together in a house. They have a laugh together, enjoying life and getting by. But one night Jimmy forces them to face their denials and problems, giving them a chance to throw out old baggage and sort themselves out - if they can rise to the challenge. A very funny and moving piece.

Top of PageFour Last Things
Synopsis:
Janey is dropping out. Of college, of friends, of life. Stuck on her family farm, yearning for Dublin, she wants to swap the green fields for a concrete jungle and the endless quiet for a ceaseless noise. With a father she can't talk to, and a dog that can't talk back to her, Janey bows out and chooses no to life. This is an emotionally charged journey through the last days of a young woman's battle with herself. An achingly true play that vigorously explores our most secret beliefs, the Four Last Things that are death, judgement, heaven and hell.
