Hollywood comes to rural Ireland in this hilarious multi-award winner which ran for four years in London’s West End.

Stones in His Pockets is a comedy, with a poignant undercurrent, about a small rural town in Ireland where a Hollywood epic is being filmed. The story centres on Charlie Conlon and Jake Quinn, who, like much of the town, are employed as extras for the filming.

Make sure you don't miss out! Book here!

Winner of three Tony Awards, three Outer Critics Circle Awards, two Lucille Lortel Awards and two Obie Awards, Urinetown is a hilarious musical satire of the legal system, capitalism, social irresponsibility, populism, environmental collapse, privatization of natural resources, bureaucracy, municipal politics and musical theatre itself!

Running from 10th of April - 20th of April 2024.

At the end of an avenue, behind an overgrown garden, stands a run-down historic house, home to three generations of women, Honoria, Sophie and Poppy.

This uplifting and funny New Zealand musical examines the impact that the arrival of a handsome young boarder has on life in the house, changing relationships and leading to the potential revelation of a long-kept secret.

It is a delightful and heart-warming meditation on the changes that occur in families as children grow up, adults age and situations and relationships alter. This show
