'Bedtime Stories' by Theatre Games Ireland under the direction of April Ferron.

The Kids from Theatre Games Ireland are back with a fun hilarious new play. "Bedtime Stories" "(As told by our Dad Who Messed them up)"

It's Dad's turn to tell his three rambunctious kids their bedtime stories, but when he gets fuzzy on the details, the classics get creative:

a prince with a snoring problem spices up The Princess and The Pea, The Boy Who Cried Wolf cries dinosaur instead, and Rumpelstiltskin helps turn all that pesky gold into straw. You may think you know your fairy tales, but not the way Dad tells them.

Written By Ed Monk and Directed By April Ferron

EMBRACE From Director Taryn Brumfitt

“EMBRACE is a social impact documentary, which explores the issue of body image. The project has been supported by nearly 9000 Kickstarter pledgers who responded to a fundraising trailer I released in 2014, which has now had over 25 million internet views. We have also had support and from Screen Australia, the South Australian Film Corporation, philanthropists, businesses, celebrities and thought leaders.

The inspiration for EMBRACE came about after I posted an unconventional before-and-after image on the internet in 2013 that sparked a media frenzy. The image, which embraces body diversity, was seen by over 100 million people worldwide and led to hundreds of interviews and articles. But I soon realized how restrictive 4-minute TV interviews, 800 word articles and 140 characters on Twitter can be. This issue needed a louder voice on a bigger platform, so the idea of creating the documentary EMBRACE was born.”

"A compelling, inspiring viewing experience that is in no short supply of joy and triumph"
- EMPIRE MAGAZINE

“A powerful, and important film. Beautifully executed and just so so imperative for girls and women everywhere.”
- RICKI LAKE

"Brilliant, inspiring and mind changing. Take your daughters, your sons, your mum, your sister, your friends"
- MIA FREEDMAN, MAMAMIA

"It’s not very often a film will change my perspective on life, but after viewing Taryn Brumfitt’s documentary Embrace it was a completely different story."

Drama - Jon Kenny in Crowman

Details

Category: Upcoming Drama Productions

Crowman performed by Jon Kenny

A dark comedy starring Jon Kenny (D’Unbelievables), written and directed by Katie Holly (Marion, Sharon), about one man’s loneliness –
and his pathological hatred of crows.

Set in a sparsely decorated kitchen, this intimate one-man show starring Jon Kenny ( D'Unbelievables) feels like a window into the soul of a lonely bachelor, Dan. A crow-hating man who noisily tries to shoo the blighted birds away, Dan measures out his life by the amount of funerals he has to attend every week. They are social occasions with the added bonus of refreshments. 

Dan, who vacillates between high comedy by mimicking TV celebrity chefs; and pathetic admissions, including attending Mass just to connect with another human by shaking hands, is a master at distraction, But one day, hearing a death announcement on the radio. his world is shattered.
Kenny is brilliant in the role , conveying the gamut of emotions. Katie Holly's script is strong, conjuring up a life of quiet desperation.

Johnny Duhan - The Voyage

Following the launch of his autobiography, The Voyage, Johnny Duhan is set to perform a series of solo shows around Ireland, based on some of his most intimate songs and stories dealing with the highs and lows of life.

Johnny’s songs are performed worldwide in a variety of languages, thanks to the focus put on them by Christy Moore, The Dubliners, Dolores Keane and hosts of other singers.

His song The Voyage has become a modern classic. Hot Press magazine editor, Niall Stokes, has predicted that The Voyage will be around centuries from now, after most popular songs of our time are long forgotten.

Life is an ocean, love is a boat,
in troubled waters it keeps us afloat;
when we started the voyage there was just me and you,
now look around us, we have our own crew.
