The New Theatre is excited to announce its upcoming New Writing Week, featuring a series of original plays. The event will take place from January 27 to January 31, 2025, showcasing a variety of compelling stories and fresh perspectives.
Tickets for “John, May, James and Me” are now on sale. This play, inspired by Stanislaus Joyce’s writings, offers a look into the Joyce family’s life, influencing James Joyce’s work.
This funny and moving play pits personal ambition against love for family, all the while challenging prevailing notions about its protagonists: Lucia as the mad daughter, and James as the genius father who did all he could to save his daughter.
Inspired by a news headline in a local paper Sorcha Furlong (Fair City), in a tour-de-force performance, captivatingly portrays Mary Fortune from womb to tomb through the highs and lows of a life that finally spiralled out of control.
