The End - Samuel Beckett by Gare St. Lazare/Conor Lovett

Thu 01-03-2012 20:00

 Samuel Beckett by Gare St. Lazare/Conor Lovett                                              

Award Winning Conor Lovett returns with this famous short story which began in English and finished in French. In it a man recounts an episode late in his life when, having been expelled from an institution of care, he finds his own way in the world.  He meets a variety of characters and situations before finally lying down to let life ebb away.  It is one of Beckett's most complete, most compelling and most beautiful works and is a Gare St Lazare favourite. 

It is, as ever, a towering achievement of acting and directing." Sunday Independent

Faulty Towers …the dining experience Theatre/Dinner

Wed 04-04-2012 19:50

 Ten42.com Productions in association with D’lush Cafe.

Faulty Towers…the dining experience has been winning fans and accolades at Edinburgh, Melbourne and Adelaide Festivals for the last three years. Featuring all the best gags and a great meal, Faulty Towers….the dining experience is a loosely-scripted, pitch-perfect '13th episode' of the TV series which develops the characters made famous by John Cleese, Prunella Scales and Andrew Sachs.

Basil, Sybil and Manuel return to serve you dinner and a feast of comic delights, some familiar, some off the cuff, but all with a “Faulty” seasoning and a guarantee to keep you laughing all the way to the desert.

Basil is manic, Sybil domineering, and Manuel – of course – is hopelessly language-challenged. Everything that can wrong, does in some beautifully controlled chaos.

Just don’t mention the war!

The Wheelchair on My Face

Thu 12-04-2012 20:00

A look back at a myopic childhood   ‘I got my first pair of glasses when I was seven and so it was discovered why I’d thrown bread to the floating crisp packets in our local pond and walked into lamp posts. Until that day the world was a swirl of moving coloured blobs. I thought it was the same for everyone. How wrong I was. A hilarious look back at growing up in the 70’s with love for Abba and very little (in) sight. ’Written and performed by comedic actress Sonya Kelly.

100 Minutes by Derek Webb

Thu 26-04-2012 20:00

100 years ago this April, a flimsy Bleriot XI aeroplane left a field in Goodwick Pembrokeshire.  100 minutes later it arrived in Enniscorthy, Wexford. It was to be the first ever flight from Britain to Ireland.  The pilot was an Anglo-Irishman; son of a wealthy Irish family – Denys Corbett Wilson. Derek Webb's new play celebrates this achievement and the life of Corbett Wilson who was tragically killed in action flying with the Royal Air Corps in May 1915.
