After a dire medical prognosis, Jackie matches up her incompetent and “lost” professor husband Ben with Rachel, her super organized, now retired best friend, before heading off to Mexico for risky treatment. But, after six months of experimental drugs with another patient, Suzi, who defies expectations, Jackie returns only to find Ben a completely changed man – and not necessarily for the good. A comedy about friendships over time and how love changes.

Play on Words Productions reimagines the iconic musical Pippin as a raw, underground nightclub fever dream.

Inside a decaying club suspended between life and death, the party never ends—sweat, smoke, and shadows blur the line between desire and destruction. Misfit souls, beautiful but broken, dance endlessly in search of release, desperate to escape their endless cycle. When Pippin, a lost young man, stumbles inside, he becomes their chance at freedom. Guided by the magnetic Leading Player, Pippin is seduced by the promise of ultimate glory.

Dark, raw, and reckless, this Pippin is a haunting exploration of purpose and temptation, where performance is survival, and the choice is devastating: burn in the fire, or walk away.

CITYSONG is a kaleidoscopic journey through the streets of Dublin — but its themes of growing up, growing old, and the inescapable rhythms of city life speak to every urban soul. Told through a single day in the life of a city, this lyrical play lets us hear the thoughts of babies, teens, lovers, loners, and elders, all threaded through a richly woven auditory and emotional landscape.

“A tender, electrifying love letter to city life.” – The Guardian
“This is theatre at its most musical, most human.” – The Irish Times

CITYSONG is a timely reminder of the beauty and pain in everyday lives — a celebration of the extraordinary within the ordinary.

By George Bernard Shaw
Directed by Lauren Taylor

A sparkling examination of romance, sex, love, negotiated relationships, the clash between knowledge and ignorance, political manoeuverings, war, and hope. One of Shaw’s most glittering comedies.
