CORA, LEAH AND I Opens this Week at The New Theatre

"In a haunted house where the tape is always rolling, it's hard to get away with anything, let alone murder."

Leah has been running away, Cora has been standing still and Egan has the whole thing on tape. All of them are desperate to forget, to move on, move past the event that shattered their lives. Unfortunately it's hard to forget. It's even harder when the camera is always on you and the footage is there, waiting, daring you to take a look.

BridgeTalk Theatre's debut production is a harsh look at those hiding behind and in front of the camera played back for you in HD.

Ledwidge
by Gerard Humphreys

Dates: Previews - February 27th & 28th
Production dates - March 1st - 11th, 7.30pm Tickets: €16 (€12.50 concession)

About the Show:
He shall not hear the bittern cry

In the wild sky, where he is lain"

A call to arms. War Poet Francis Ledwidge (Ethan Dillon) is torn between his love for Shivvie (Katie O'Kelly), and his friend and confidante, Ellie (Amy O'Dwyer). In spite of their fears, he enlists in Captain Dunsany's (Ian Meehan) regiment, and is dispatched to Suvla Bay.
Excelling as a sniper, Ledwidge distinguishes himself at Gallipoli, but the poet remains conflicted.
BBC Stewart Parker Award winning writer Gerard Humphreys' 'LEDWIDGE', explores the poet's personal conflict during World War I and his early life as a trade union activist in a class ridden society on the eve of revolution. 'LEDWIDGE' presents its subject in the context of his art and politics, bringing to life the adventurous spirit of Ireland's greatest war poet.

This play will celebrate 100 years since Ledwidge's death and 20 years presenting new writing by The New Theatre.

Save & Quit
by Sophia Leuner

Dates: March 13th -18th, 7.30pm Tickets: €16 (€12.50 concession)

About the Show:
Fun, fast paced and fearless, 'Save + Quit' tells the powerful and empathetic stories of four humans.

'Save + Quit' was chosen as the winner of the London Student Drama Festival 2015 and has recently returned from a hugely successful ***** run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and VAULT Festival in London.

Two lonely Londoners and two dispirited Dubliners share glimpses of their city lives, re-enacting all their diverse daily encounters. No set, no props - simply four humans exploring the isolating effects of grief and urban life.

Witty yet moving, this energetic four hander about city school systems, ethnic barriers and transport costs is especially timely given the refugee crisis, Brexit and the centenary of the 1916 Easter Rising.

With fast paced multi-roling and brave, compelling storytelling, 'Save + Quit' speaks to the audience, encouraging them to reach out and connect with one another despite - or perhaps because of - the seemingly indifferent and often hostile nature of city life.

Directed by Billie de Buitléar.
