DUETS UPDATE FROM Irish Theatre Institute, Fishamble: The New Play Company & Dublin Fringe Festival

16/12/2021

0 Comments

 
​Irish Theatre Institute (ITI), Fishamble: The New Play Company and Dublin Fringe Festival are pausing the DUETS initiative for 2022. This is being done to review the resources and supports most required by theatre artists now. The DUETS partners will continue to support idea development and artists in 2022 through their existing and new artist support programmes.
​

This successful partnership created Show in a Bag in 2010 to facilitate the creation of new small scale, tour-ready shows, highlighting the talents and skills of performers making work for Dublin Fringe Festival. In 2019, working in response to the changing needs of the sector, the Show in a Bag partners introduced a new opportunity, DUETS. This artist support initiative champions professional artists working in pairs to tell one-of-a-kind stories, using the unique combination of their skills.

In these ever-changing times, ITI, Fishamble and Dublin Fringe Festival will pause and work together once again to solicit feedback and undertake research to identify the resources and supports most needed by the sector now.

We want to take this opportunity to thank the outgoing Directors of Irish Theatre Institute, Siobhán Bourke and Jane Daly, for their passionate contribution to our eleven year partnership and the far-reaching, impactful body of work it has created.

Duck Duck Goose follows the story of Chris Quinn, a young man who, in an attempt to help his friend, becomes deeply embroiled in a rape allegation.  As the rules change, and confusion reigns supreme, Chris struggles between loyalty, love and doubt. 
 
Full of moral ambiguity and psychological complexity, this viscerally-charged new play by Caitríona Daly constantly shifts our perspective on ideas of consent, trust, and trial by social media

This was a two-year process in association with Draíocht, The Everyman, Lime Tree Theatre/Belltable, Lyric Theatre, Pavilion Theatre, and Town Hall Theatre. This play is the second to have been produced through this programme.

About Fishamble’s A Play for Ireland
​

As part of Fishamble's : The New Play Company 30th year in 2018, we set out to find one, big, ambitious play, that bursts with humanity and tackles a subject about which the playwright feels passionate - A PLAY FOR IRELAND that captures the zeitgeist of the country, that demands to be produced. Submissions were invited from across Ireland at the start of this two-year process, which encouraged the citizens of Ireland, and non-Irish citizens living on the island of Ireland, to write plays, engaging people aged 18+, from all communities, throughout the country. The Alternative by Michael Patrick and Oisin Kearney was chosen and produced in 2019, winning two Irish Times Theatre Awards.  Duck Duck Goose is the second play from this initiative to be produced by Fishamble.


Dates
Pavilion Theatre - 29th September - 3rd October
Draíocht - 7th - 9th October
The Everyman, Cork - 12th - 14th October
Watergate Theatre, Kilkenny - 16th October
Lyric Theatre, Belfast - 19th - 20th October
