Druid returns with the brilliantly subversive The Beauty Queen of
Leenane by Martin McDonagh on the twentieth anniversary of its debut.
Multi-award winning Garry Hynes will direct the production with the stellar
cast of Marie Mullen, Aisling O’Sullivan, Marty Rea and Aaron Monaghan.
The Beauty Queen of Leenane is set in the mountains of Connemara
and tells the story of Maureen Folan, a plain and lonely woman in her
early 40s, and Mag, her manipulative, aging mother. Mag’s interference in
Maureen’s first and potentially last romantic relationship sets in motion a
chain of events that are as tragically funny as they are horrific.
‘Please avail yourself, and brace yourself, for the virtuosic turbulence of
one of modern theater’s most giddily diabolical minds.’

Welcome to our September
to December 2016 season
I am particularly pleased about the
calibre of theatre we are presenting this
season. Orla Murphy’s deeply moving
Remember to Breathe was getting
everyone excited in Edinburgh this
August, as was Prime Cut Productions’
Scorch by Stacey Gregg, winner of
Best New Play in the 2015 Irish Times
Theatre Awards. Amy Conroy’s Luck
Just Kissed You Hello was the hit
of last year’s Galway International Arts
Festival and Seamus Moran’s captivating
Have a Heart was described as a
real tour-de-force performance. We are
also supporting the finest local theatre
talent with Sunday’s Child dark and
compassionate Overshadowed.
Two exciting premieres by Limerick
artists bookend this season. In early
September, you can look forward to
Eggsistentialism by Joanne Ryan,
a journey of egg’stremes when one
woman tries to figure out if making a
life for oneself should involve making
another. At the other end of the season,
Margaret Hough’s new dramatical
musical adaptation of Dickens’ classic
tale A Christmas Carol, Scrooge,
promises to put us all into the festive
mood.
Families can look forward to our bigger
and better Bualadh Bos Children’s
Festival in October, running for two
weeks both in Belltable and in the Lime
Tree Theatre.
I am very proud of the new partnerships
and collaborations we have forged over
the past few months. We have teamed
up with L.A.C.E. to bring you this year’s
Culture Night. We love the energy of the
Limerick-based Polish Art Festival and
are supporting them in creating a brand
new piece of music by the composer
Yola Wesolowska, Voice Encounters.
We also look forward to welcoming
Fishamble: The New Play Company
to our artist development initiative,
Belltable:Connect. Fishamble’s
Jim Culleton and Gavin Kostick will
start their renowned 10-months
Mentoring Programme for Playwrights
and Directors this September. And of
course we are continuing our ongoing
partnerships with Limerick Jazz Festival,
Richard Harris Film Festival, Light Moves
Festival presented by Dance Limerick
and Seoda Shows/Dolan’s.
We can’t wait for you to come in and
enjoy the programme.

reality of a sentient cosmos by placing 21st century technological

effect on humanity by improvisation and extemporization in a mixed media
performance event with the emphasis on spoken word/sound.

Inspired by recent court cases Scorch is written
by Stacey Gregg one of Northern Ireland’s most
talented playwrights (Huzzies, Shibboleth).
Scorch received its world premiere at Outburst in 2015 and found critical
acclaim after winning the Irish Times Theatre Award for Best New Play and
the Writers Guild of Ireland ZeBBie Award for Best Theatre Script. Prime Cut

touching, funny and provocative play throughout 2016.
“The real life issue takes on heightened dramatic resonance, fractured
and splintered by Gregg’s syncopated prose style” ★★★★ Irish Times

Overshadowed
Sat 8th October | 8pm
Tickets €16/€14
Imogene used to be sparkly vivacious,
and outgoing. She used to fancy lads,
have curves and love chips. Recently
however she has become withdrawn, gaunt, obsessed with exercise.
The reason? Caol, her new “best friend”, who’s cast a dark shadow over
Imogene’s life. Invisible to everyone except Imogene, Caol will not rest until
Imogene has been reduced both emotionally and physically to a shadow of
her former self. This moving and insightful piece by award winning company
Sunday’s Child aims to provoke compassion and debate around the subject of
eating disorders.

Voice Encounters
Sun 9th October | 8pm
Tickets €10
This performance is an experiment with the voice that
is a result of a 2 day workshop with the artists led
by a composer Yola Wesolowska & musician Stan Michalak. It is an encounter
with metaphysical voice, self-discovery of time, space & silence, coming
from empirical experience to transcendent. Voice Encounters is about
composition & decomposition through physical expression of body & voice,
making your body resonate through the sounds, discovering the phantom of a
pure voice and every possible sound, vocal meditation based on musical scales,
building contra points resulting from a communication with the sounds.
Seamus Moran presents
Have a Heart
Sat 19th November | 8pm
Tickets €16/€14
Seamus Moran’s dynamic and visually
stunning one-man play will keep you
guessing and fully engaged throughout.
A man who’s recently had a heart transplant thinks his new heart is talking
to him. Is he insane? Suffering side-effects from the medication? Or is it
possible? Could this really be happening? When his new heart persuades him
to embark on a major quest, his life is turned inside out; his world turned
upside down. His beliefs, assumptions and view of himself are called into
question, tested and challenged.

Luck Just Kissed
You Hello
Mon 21st & Tue 22nd November | 8pm
Tickets €16/€14
Mark (Amy Conroy) is now a man, but growing up
he was Laura, a “girlish boy” who never fitted into the small town or her
father’s view of who she was expected to be. Mark has been away a long
time and he is back with reluctance and great emotion to sit by his dying
father’s bedside and deal with a life left behind and blacked out like tin
foil on windows. This is a play about what it means to be a man, and the
complicated nature and fluidity of masculinity.
“Amy Conroy’s Luck Just Kissed You Hello is a rare achievement, a
play that is polemical while remaining provocative, funny, and intensely
moving” - Emer O’Kelly, Sunday Independent

velvet. Reuniting with long-time collaborator and producer Erik Visser, Scars
on the Calendar is Coughlan’s first album of new material since 2008.
