Fionnuala

Benbo Productions

Thursday 17^th July, 8pm

Ambrose Keogh works for Shell. When the Tunnel Boring Machine he named ‘Fionnuala’ sinks into the bog in Mayo, he is magically confronted by Fionnuala, the swan-child from the ancient legend The Children of Lir. Fionnuala puts a geas (spell) on him – he’s bound to tell what he knows about attacks on opponents of the Shell Mayo gas project. During his ordeal, Ambrose comes face to face with his school classmate Malachy, and silent echoes from the past resound. 

 “Fionnuala cuts a swathe through Shell/State propaganda, allowing audiences to access the truth of what’s happening in North Mayo” Hot Press    Tickets: €15/12. Booking essential

The Nualas: The Great Big Shiny Show

Saturday 19^th July, 8pm

The Nualas are jetting in for one night only with their shiniest show ever. Expect shine, expect glitz, expect (knee) cleavage. With acrobatic vocals, original self-penned numbers and provocative chat about current stuff, you will laugh, you will cry, you will probably need to go to the toilet at some point…
“The Nualas made me laugh and cry and go to the toilet” Fr. O’Reilly, Carlow
“The cult queens of Ireland who put the ‘b’ in bejaysus!” Metro, London

Tickets:  €19 / €17. Booking essential.

Beezneez – The Lonesome West
Linenhall favourites Beezneez return with the Martin McDonagh classic The
Lonesome West. The blackest of black comedies, John McDwyer directs Gerry
Farrell (“An Ordinary Man”), Peter Davey (“Johnnie's Britches”), Margaret
Kilcoyne (“Nobody's Perfect”) and Brian Gallagher (“Scorpion”) in a tour de force
production which rips apart the old Ireland image of comely maidens and
leprechauns and introduces us to the mad world of brothers Coleman and
Valeen, a world that revolves around important matters such as the ownership of
poitín, crisps and figurines. An unmissable night of pure theatre.

Adm. €16 / €14 (concessions)
