Ballyturk

Ballyturk
I thought we knew everything there was to know. The lives of two men unravel quickly over the course of 90 minutes. Where are they? Who are they? What room is this, and what might be beyond the walls? Gut-wrenchingly funny and achingly sad, and featuring jaw-dropping moments of physical comedy, Ballyturk is an ambitious, profound and tender work from one of Ireland's leading playwrights.

Delirium

Delirium
Hilarious, brutal and tragic, Delirium is a radical re-interpretation of the Brothers Karamazov, Dostoevsky's classic and compelling tale of family rivalries . . . the Karamazovs are a train wreck waiting to happen. A hated Father and his sons battle it out over women, money and God - they don't so much live as burn up. Behind them lurks a servant, taking note of it all and to the side, two beautiful women, clinging onto impossible loves

Gentrification: A Conversation With My Neighbour Henry

Synopsis:
something terrible has happened in the ordinary London street where Henry lives with his lovely partner and their perfect little daughter, Ada. Ordinary social tension over different lifestyles and income levels has erupted into something more political, targeted and sinister: middle-class children are being taken and held hostage until their families return the streets to the local people who once owned them.

Last Hotel, The

Synopsis:
The Last Hotel unites two of Ireland's most fascinating artists, multi award-winning playwright Enda Walsh and composer Donnacha Dennehy in a new chamber opera from Landmark Productions and Wide Open Opera about life, death, duty and guilt. Walsh's reputation as a chronicler of the darker side of the Irish psyche has been forged through works such as The Walworth Farce, Misterman and, most recently, Ballyturk. Dennehy is a composer of urgent, searching music that combines post minimalist overtones with a very Irish sensibility. As the opera begins, a man silently mops the floor - the water bloody. The hotel room he's supposed to be preparing is not ready yet. A woman is meeting a man and his wife in the hotel's car park. All three are nervous. Tonight there'll be a death. The 12 strong Crash Ensemble is conducted by Andre de Ridder with a cast that includes baritone Robin Adams, sopranos Claudia Boyle and Katherine Manley and renowned Irish actor Mikel Murfi.

Room 303

Room 303
the King James Version of the Bible (KJV) is a foundation stone of the English language. the KJV was composed as a collective project and written to be spoken. Sixty-Six Books has been created, in the spirit of the original, in the same way. Pulpit to print; stage to page; mediated through many forms oral and written, the KJV has, since its inception, been a fundamental part of written and spoken English.This is a work that has travelled to every continent of the globe. It has been shared as a melodic instrument of inspiration, illumination and mutual understanding; and it has also been wielded as a tool of colonial oppression. Sixty-Six Books is a fresh interpretation of the KJV for the new millennium, celebrating and challenging the traditions and achievements of this great work on the occasion of its 400th anniversary. the curators of this project have gathered together a formidable and inspiring line-up of the best established and emerging writing talent to produce a new version of the KJV for thetwenty-first century. Each writer has created anew a book of the KJV - as prose, poetry, Drama, performance, song, or ground-breaking digital form. Each writer has spoken back to the KJV with untrammeled inventiveness of the imagination. the voices of Sixty-Six Books, drawn from across five continents, innovate, transmute, transpose, reinvent and talk back to four hundredyears of history. All the works that make up Sixty-Six Books are written to be spoken. Culminating in major performance events at the Bush theatre and Westminster Abbey in 2011 in London, Sixty-Six Books is a contribution towards the mutual curiosity, tolerance, and force of collective enterprise and shared humanity that characterizes the international and ancient Arts of writing and spoken performance

Notes:
Part of Sixty-Six Books: 21st-century writers speak to the King James Bible. Play is A response to the King James Bible book of 3 John

Small Things, The
Two chairs, a table, a high window. An old woman, an old man. Prompted by their alarm clocks they tell their story. they tell of a village in which people's tongues are cut out, making them 'the Silent'. they tell of a ten-year-old boy lying in the woods, battered to death, his tongue cut out. they tell of children lined up outside the local pool - blue with cold in their swimming costumes - waiting to have their tongues cut out, then to be immersed in the pool. It's clearly a story they need to tell. . .

Twits, The

Twits, The
Mr and Mrs Twit are not very nice. In fact they're extremely nasty. They're nasty to each other, and they're VILE to everyone else. They hold a family of monkeys hostage in a cage and force them to stand on their heads. ALL THE TIME. We told you they weren't very nice. Can the monkeys find a way to show those vicious Twits what for?

Notes:
Mischievously adapted from one of the world's most loved books by Dahl, Enda Walsh turns the The Twits upside down and brings this revolting revolution to the Royal Court Theatre stage. Music by Martin Lowe

Walworth Farce, The

Walworth Farce, The
A remarkable play from the author of Bedbound and Disco Pigs, about what can happen when we become stuck in the stories we tell about our lives. Visceral and tender, the Walworth Farce combines hilarious moments with shocking realism. It's 11 o'clock in the morning in a council flat on the Walworth Road in London. In two hours' time, as is normal, three Irish men will have consumed six cans of Harp, fifteen crackers with spreadable cheese, ten pink biscuit wafers and one oven-cooked chicken with a strange blue sauce. In two hours' time, as is normal, five people will have been killed.

Notes:
