"We need to radically shift how we view drugs and drug users"
HEROIN is the story you were never told about the republic that never happened, of the person you never saw, of what we built and then demolished. It’s the big one, the bad one, the one you never thought you’d try.
HEROIN is a radical staging of how we got here, and how much we care. THEATREclub’s award winning show is an explosion of the social history of Heroin in Ireland over the last sixty years. First performed in 2010, the play has been been on hundreds of times since then, all over Europe. Crushingly as relevant as ever, Grace Dyas and Rachael Keogh (author of Dying to Survive) have come together to make a brand new production. We're getting current. Again. We can't fucking believe this is STILL going on. Its no longer a play, now, it has to be a campaign.
For sixty years, we've been going around in circles, letting people die. When we said we needed help we were put on a waiting list. There's still only 30 detox beds. When we done something wrong we were sent straight to prison. No waiting. It costs €22,000 a year to keep one drug user in prison.
This is an invitation to come together and talk about trying something different and maybe then, we can hear the birds singing for the first time.

Everyone's Fine with Virginia Woolf
Dublin Theatre Festival
4th - 7th October 2018
Buy tickets HERE
From the Obie-award winning company that created Gatz, a new play, written by long-time company member Kate Scelsa and directed by Artistic Director John Collins, fresh from its world premiere in New York.
Tailor-made for this moment, Everyone’s Fine with Virginia Woolf is, in turns, loving homage and fierce feminist take-down of Edward Albee’s drama Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? The power dynamics of the original play’s not-so-happy couple are subverted, and no one is left unscathed by the ferocity of Martha’s revenge on an unsuspecting patriarchy.
Contains strong language and adult themes.

Open House - Irish Architecture Foundation
Belvedere House
6 Great Denmark St, Dublin 1
Saturday 13 October, 11.00am – 5.00pm
More information HERE
The construction of what is now Belvedere College began under the 1st Earl of Belvedere, and was later finished and occupied by the 2nd Earl of Belvedere. Built to the designs of architect Robert West, it features the work of renowned stuccodore Michael Stapleton. After the 2nd Earl's death in 1814, the townhouse was left unoccupied and fell into disrepair. The house was eventually procured by the Society of Jesus Religious Order in 1841 and has since been occupied as part of their educational facility. James Joyce, Austin Clarke, Harry Clarke, Joseph Plunkett, Donagh MacDonagh and Kevin Barry are amongst some of the great past alumni who roamed the corridors and were educated here. RKD Architects were appointed in 2014 by Belvedere College to restore the 18th Century house and one of the most powerful features of the house today is the stucco work in the hall and first floor reception rooms.
First-come basis: Just turn up and look out for Open House Dublin volunteers. This tour is not suitable for children.

Life After Stoker
Bram Stoker Festival
Belvedere House
Sat 27 Oct , 4.30pm
Tickets: €13 (incl. €1 booking fee)
Buy Tickets HERE
Would Bram Stoker recognise what Dracula has become? Since his wife Florence Balcombe waged war on cult film Nosferatu, Dracula’s place in popular culture has been a contested one, with the character playing no small role in spawning the vampire subculture in twentieth-century pop culture.
This panel discussion will include audio visual representations of Dracula through the ages, from the big screen to television. Novelist Frankie Gaffney (Trinity College Dublin), Stoker biographer Paul Murray and academic Dara Downey sit down with Donal Fallon (of ‘Come Here To Me’) to trash out the never-ending saga that is Dracula post-Stoker.
Age suitability: 14+ (Under 18s must be accompanied by an adult)
Venue is wheelchair accessible, with some restrictions. Please advise box office staff at time of booking. Email boxoffice@takeyourseats.ie or phone +353 1 518 0599.
