Fishamble ‘Before’ and Norma Sheahan at the Theatre Royal
Aug
BEFORE – A new play with much music by Pat Kinevane
From the team that brought you Forgotten, Underneath and the Olivier Award-winning Silent, Before is a new play with much music, set in Clery’s of Dublin, on the very day this iconic department store shuts – for good. Pontius is inside, trying to choose a gift for his estranged daughter, whom he hasn’t seen for almost 20 years. He will meet her in an hour. This father’s journey is both beautiful and strange, from the isolation of his Midlands home, to the madness of O’Connell Street. Some folk are impossible to buy for… Before was commissioned by Fishamble and has been in development with the support of the Arts Council, National Theatre Studio (London), Pavilion Theatre, RTÉ Concert Orchestra, Georganne Aldrich Heller, Robert Leroy, and The Strollers Touring Network. Fishamble is an Irish theatre company that is passionate about discovering, developing and producing new plays of national importance with a global reach, while championing the role of the playwright.

‘Heal Your Hole’ with Norma Sheahan
Norma Sheahan’s hilarious comedy night promises to heal every hole in your life, one laugh at a time. From breaking her coccyx on ‘Celebrity Ireland’s Fittest Family’, to getting fired from a charity helpline for not beating around the bush, Norma’s straight-talking approach will heal all orifices. Whether the pain in your hole is physical, mental, spiritual or emotional she has the necessary life-experience to give all holes a good seeing to. As seen in… The Clinic, Bridget & Eamon, Mooneboy, Damo & Ivor, Finding Joy, Women on the Verge, Vagina Monologues, and hanging over the Liffey in Celebrity Ireland’s Fittest Family. Plus, much more…. “The Comedy Chops of Norma Sheahan are there in spades…” (The Sunday World) “Sheahan, whose extensive CV includes roles on Bridget & Eamon, Can’t Cope Won’t Cope, and A Date for Mad Mary, is in danger of stealing the show…” (RTE)
