The Female Playwrights collection celebrates the work of 5 femae playwrights from all over Ireland and contains 5 plays.
For Dolores by Eva O’Connor
Mo (the Scottish one) and Réaltín (the Irish one) partied, played and blazed their way through the Edinburgh student dream.
Set in Glasgow a couple of years later, For Dolores is about friendship, motherhood and coming to terms with your worst mistakes.
Like twin stars in obsessive orbit, it’s a friendship, a rivalry and an adventure. Risk is a delicious pleasure: until it all explodes in the blink of an eye.
How far will they go for love?
REFUGE by Deirdre Kinahan
1710, Rathkeale, County Limerick.
REFUGE traces their journey and explores the enduring connections between displaced communities of the past and those seeking safety today.
It is a thrilling new play that weaves past, present and future: music and magic. Stories of longing, love and loss tear at the human need to find a place, a home, a refuge.
Breaking by Amy Kidd
Welcome to the world of Sam and Charlie in Breaking, a groundbreaking first play by Amy Kidd. It looks like love but it tastes like control. How do we judge, when we can’t trust our own judgment? Who do we distrust and who gets the benefit of the doubt?
Fishamble’s Breaking asks fascinating and profound questions about how we navigate a world without any simple answers.
In Two Minds by Joanne Ryan
Explored through the dynamic of a mother-daughter relationship, In Two Minds is deeply personal, inventive, funny and life-affirming. As a new work it plays with both the fascinating allure and the challenges of living with bipolar disorder. From the stellar writer Joanne Ryan (Lustrum Award winner) comes a tale of the adult child and parent sharing the same home. In Two Minds finds insight in the darkness, humour in the pain and tenderness in difficult family dynamics.
Rathmines Road by Deirdre Kinahan
Set over one evening, Rathmines Road by Deirdre Kinahan is a play that rages in a tiny room. Fraught, funny, and ferocious, this new drama challenges the cultural response to accusations of sexual assault.
Bristling with tension, Rathmines Road unleashes a brutal truth that affects us all. It is a play that asks: when and how do we take responsibility?
