WELCOME

OUR 2027 SEASON

We are delighted to announce our full 2027 season.   All performances will be at the Kranzberg Black Box.
Auditions for The Father and A Skull in Connemara will take place in January.

A thrilling, provocative, and darkly humorous new stage drama from award-winning playwright David Ireland. After years in the 12-step program of Alcoholics Anonymous, James becomes a sponsor to newcomer Luka. The pair bond over black coffee, trade stories and build a fragile friendship out of their shared experiences. But as Luka approaches step five – the moment of confession – dangerous truths emerge, threatening the trust on which both of their recoveries depend.

Eric Dean White (Member AEA) will play James
CJ Langdon will play Luka

The Father explores the world through the eyes of André, an ageing former engineer who is slowly losing his grip on reality. As his daughter Anne struggles to provide care while managing her own life, time begins to skew, faces change, and the physical environment itself morphs. By putting the audience directly inside André’s fracturing mind, the perspective of the disease shifts from an objective medical reality to a visceral, thriller-like experience.

For one week each autumn, Mick Dowd is hired to disinter the bones in the local cemetery to make way for the new arrivals.  This year, the job takes a dark and deeply personal turn when Mick must dig up the remains of his own late wife, who died under highly suspicious circumstances seven years prior. Mick’s graveyard shift quickly descends into an unforgettable night of chaos, and shocking revelations. Part of McDonagh’s acclaimed Leenane Trilogy, it “combines a love of traditional storytelling with the savage ironic humour of the modern generation” (The Guardian, UK).
