Price includes wine tasting.

Susan Boyle loves wine. What’s more she knows what she’s drinking and talking about. She’s got 2,000 years of Irish wine history to back her up! So, sit back, let her pour you a glass while she takes you on a trip with the tenacious Irish people who transformed the wine world and didn’t let coming from a grape-free land stop them.

This one-woman theatrical performance fuses interactive wine tasting with storytelling in a warm intimate setting. Audience members will have the opportunity to put their senses to use and hopefully leave with a new insight to a drink that has been part of Ireland’s history for much longer than we might think.

"The history, decanted along with increasingly potent tastings, is fascinating" Peter Crawley The Irish Times

A live performance poetry piece with music – ‘Who Am Ireland?’ is a new work by Irish writer/performer Sorcha Fox. Inspired by events in Ireland in the recent past this piece asks; What is Ireland now? What has happened to us and what have we done about it? Performed with live music, Sorcha Fox’s ‘Who Am Ireland?’ is a contemporary poetic riff on identity - personal and National, in the spirit of challenge.

“Fox’s concentration, her physical poise and her pitch perfect accent work make her one of the most impressive Irish actors this reviewer has ever seen.” Irishcentral.com, New York

Includes light lunch / supper

It’s not easy to get by in this crazy old world. But Fred and Alice have discovered that all you really need are 2 tennis rackets, disproportionate reactions to minor accidents, an immature coping strategy and each other.
Fred and Alice first met in the home. It wasn’t really a home but Fred always called it a home because that was where he lived, and if you are not living at home then where are you? It was love at first sight for Alice. Fred didn’t talk to her again for years but then eventually Fred got used to her and it was love at first sight for him too.
“This is clever and absorbing stuff, nudging at a more provocative piece about disability rights” Irish Times

Paperbelle’s world is black and white and she likes it that way. She’s heard of colour; but would prefer things to stay as they are. The colours, on the other hand, want to play games and they want Paperbelle to join in. Paperbelle’s world is changing – will she try to stop it or might she find it’s not as bad as it first seemed…?

An enchanting theatre performance for children aged 2 to 5 years and their families, friends, schools and nurseries. Paperbelle is a gentle and playful exploration of colour set in a magical world of paper..
