Thank-you very much to our loyal patrons who generously supported our recent production “Dead Man’s Cell Phone”, which was a great success. We look forward to seeing you at our next production in August 2015.

Life truly has begun for director Aileen Byrne and the cast of Lua McIlraith’s new play ‘Life Begins at Sixty.’

Anna Rooney, Mo Hudson, Joanna Troughton, Cyrileen Power & Lua McIiraith are currently applying the finishing touches.

The eagle-eyed among you will have noticed that Lua is also acting in the play, competing at this year’s Bray One-Act festival on Thursday 29th, January.

It’s rumoured that Lua’s next mission is to sort out the water crisis. Good luck with that.

If you can’t make the Bray One-Act Festival show – fear not. There is a preview performance at the Kingston Hotel, Dun Laoghaire on Tuesday, 27th January at 8pm – admission €5.00

If we don’t see you at the Mermaid Theatre, why not try the Kingston Hotel for a laugh.

We wish Aileen Byrne and her cast well in what will be a funny and provocative show.
