April 30 – May 17

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.

Vital Spark Theatre

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.

Peerless

Directed by Keltie Forsyth

Hilarious. Magnetic. Unhinged.

A darkly comic, razor-edged reimagining of Macbeth, Peerless follows twin sisters M and L as they spiral through the absurd, high-pressure theatre of elite college admissions. What begins as ambition curdles into obsession, with every choice landing somewhere between strategy and disaster. Fast, viciously funny, and relentlessly watchable!

In a moment when debates around affirmative action and “merit” continue to be reshaped and weaponised in public discourse, Peerless cuts through with a bracing clarity: the stories we tell about fairness are not neutral: they’re constructed, repeated, and believed until they feel like fact. The play skewers those narratives with a comedian’s precision and a thriller’s momentum, exposing how quickly “meritocracy” becomes myth-making.

Entertainment at its sharpest: ruthless, funny, and impossible to look away from.

A Streetcar Named Desire

By Tennessee Williams.   Directed by Chris Lam

A cornerstone of American theatre, A Streetcar Named Desire traces the unraveling of Blanche DuBois as she arrives in New Orleans to take shelter with her sister Stella and brother-in-law Stanley. Clashing realities, desire, and delusion collide in this emotionally charged drama, revealing the fragility of identity and the harshness of truth in a changing world.

In turbulent and uncertain times, this iconic play could not be more prescient as we witness a family moving towards new identities  and fighting for their vision of the American Dream. Tennessee Williams’ play is a portrait of a woman caught between the demons of her past and prospect of a new life.
We invite you to witness the haunting fragility and urgency of this Pulitzer Prize winning play.
