One narrator. Drunk. The story of the women in his life. The complications of his current love and his current rival. And an evil shadow that follows him everywhere.
Offenbach was dubbed “the Mozart of the Champs-Élysées” by Rossini. His lyrical, effervescent final opera, left unfinished at his death, with its plot of strange, outrageous loves, an ever-present evil genius, not to mention the famous Barcarolle (borrowed from an earlier work) and an aria for a wind-up mechanical doll, is a treasure-trove for an imaginative director.
“I warn others solemnly that Offenbach's music is wicked. It is abandoned stuff: every accent in it is a snap of the fingers in the face of moral responsibility: every ripple and sparkle on its surface twits me for my teetotalism, and mocks at the early rising of which I fully intend to make a habit some day.” — George Bernard Shaw, 1889

"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.

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.
