SUMMARY:Fourth Wall Laois Theatre Group presents I Do Not Like Thee\, Doctor Fell
DESCRIPTION:Laois Fourth Wall Theatre Group presents Bernard Farrell’s situational comedy I Do Not Like Thee\, Doctor Fell directed by David Corri. \nA group therapy session is led by the enigmatic and manipulative Suzy (Mary Dermody).\nThe participants Joe Fell (John Kavanagh)\, Roger (Kevin Lalor-Fitzpatrick)\, Peter (Joe Murphy)\, Maureen (Alex O’Neill) and Rita (Maeve Heneghan) reveal more about themselves than they intended\, leading to hilariously awkward situations. Paddy (Michael Brennan) the Group Attendant\, provides the “normal” balance to the proceedings.\nClashing egos and misunderstandings devolve into absurd confrontations creating tension between Susy’s calm demeanour and the chaos of the group members. As Suzy applies increasing pressure\, the cracks begin to show\, and buried conflicts\, resentments\, and fears erupt.\nSet in the 1980’s\, the play is both a satire of the self-help culture and a hilarious commentary on power dynamics within supposed safe spaces. \nTickets: €12 / €10 \nBook online here

SUMMARY:Trawled - When Adventure Becomes Survival by Eoin Ryan
DESCRIPTION:☆☆☆☆☆ Theatre Thoughts ‘ a story of epic proportions’ \n\n\n☆☆☆☆☆ Morish TV ‘a must see’\n\n\nWhat begins as a thrilling adventure soon spirals into a harrowing tale of survival against all odds. Trawled is a one-man biographical drama set on a prawn trawler. Twenty-five years after his life-changing experience\, Eoin Ryan brings the wild waves of the Coral Sea\, Australia to life in this authentic story about surviving suicide.\nEoin Ryan’s narrative unfolds as he recounts his twenty-five-year-old brush with destiny\, delving deep into the heart of his battle for survival against the spectre of suicide. From his audacious bid to join the trawler crew to the harsh realities of life at sea—rife with backbreaking toil\, rugged sailors\, and the ever-present threat of danger—Ryan’s story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit.\nSet against the meticulously crafted backdrop of a realistic stage\, Trawled is a sixty-minute tour de force of storytelling that unfolds with the cinematic intensity of a blockbuster film.\n‘Trawled – When Adventure becomes Survival is a story of epic proportions. And it’s true’ Theatre Thoughts\nWritten\, produced\, and acted by Eoin Ryan\, Trawled was first published as a book in 2019. In 2022 Eoin performed the story as a TEDx talk. Eoin’s motivation for going on stage and touring is to share the important universal message ‘to ask for help’. ‘Having never done anything in theatre before 2022\, I still felt compelled to bring this play and message to life’. \nTrawled is a raw distillation of life where unforeseen circumstances\, fragile relationships and shifting motivations create an unbearable ‘perfect storm’ for the protagonist. Infused with the irrepressible spirit of Irish humour\, it invites audiences to join Eoin on a voyage of discovery\, where every twist and turn of fate brings them closer to the heart of his remarkable story. \nAre you ready to come on board… \nAge suitability: 16+\nWarnings: Contains distressing or potentially triggering themes\, strong language/swearing\, and mentions of suicidal ideation.\n\nBook your tickets here or phone our box office on 090 6482042.

SUMMARY:Indigestion by Seamus O’Rourke
DESCRIPTION:This play has been described as sensitive\, hilarious\, intelligent\, absolutely compelling and refreshingly forthright. A man\, whose name we never hear\, tells us his story of a life\, always slightly out of his control. \nThe madness of a simple rural man… a man shipped off to London at the age of 17…who goes through bouts of depression\, obesity and anger issues… finds and loses love\, comes back to Ireland to more misfortune and mayhem and yet there is HOPE. This is a story full of hope\, where laughter and tears join hands and race us through fifty years of a life\, not much different to our own. This is Seamus O’Rourke doing what he does best\, storytelling. \nBook your tickets here or phone our box office on 090 6482042.

SUMMARY:Fourth Wall Laois Theatre Group presents The Country Boy by John Murphy
DESCRIPTION:Fourth Wall Laoise Theatre Group’s production of John Murphy’s play “The Country Boy” is a humorous but poignant love story that examines emigration\, the impact of dreams on reality\, and the challenges of returning home after seeking a better life abroad. \nEddie returns to Ireland with his American wife Julia intent on bringing his brother Curly to America. \nCurly is in love with the lively and beautiful Eileen but feels he must emigrate alone to make his fortune and return in a few years to marry her. \nCurly’s mother Mary Kate’s heart is breaking at the thought of him leaving\, while her husband Tom does not think time is right to hand over the farm to Curly. He does not want Eileen to “fill the house with screetchin’ childer”. \nThe empty stateroom trunk that the American couple brings serves as a powerful metaphor for the emptiness and disappointment that Eddie carries from his years away. \nEddie denigrates his wife as a “fat cow” but Julia rises to a new dignity as she becomes aware of her supportive role during Eddie’s dreams and struggles. \nWill Curly follow in Eddie’s footsteps? Will Eileen be left to wait? Will Eddie and Julia reconcile? Will Tom and Mary Kate be left with an empty nest? \nBook your tickets here or contact our box office on 090 6482042.
