Patrick is an Irish Traveller who hasn’t been home in 10 years but returns from self-exile for his grandfather’s funeral. The Dead House is a powerful and moving dark comedy that explores complex themes of family, tradition, and self- acceptance. Set in the house of the deceased, the play is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the importance of finding one’s voice and identity.

Baggage is a story of a woman unpacked. Her seams have burst, the lid is lifted, her secrets are out. Fusing theatre and dance with side-splitting comedy, the show takes us on a rip-roaring adventure from a small town in Ireland to the dancefloors of Buenos Aires. A coming-of-rage ‘force of nature, engaging, hilarious, fabulous.’
Written and performed by Nicole Rourke.
Directed by Deirdre Molloy.
