2010 ~ STILL, THE BLACKBIRD SINGS - INCIDENTS IN EBRINGTON BARRACKS

"Why would an Irishman join the British Army?...Can there be poetry in the midst of war?"

Still, the Blackbird Sings - Incidents At Ebrington Barracks by Dave Duggan re-invents, in a contemporary style, dramatic events in the life of the poet-soldier Francis Ledwidge.

It finds him and his squad members in Ebrington Barracks asking the questions: "Why return to the front when we have already survived three campaigns?...Can we trick death again?...Should we desert?"

Often referred to as the "poet of the blackbirds", Ledwidge was an Irish patriot and Nationalist, killed in action on the opening day of the Third Battle of Ypres during World War I.

In this exhilarating, entertaining and engaging dramatisation, Ledwidge faces questions relevant to soldiers of this day.

2010 ~ THE MUSIC MAKERS

by Eamon Friel

A group of actors are being rehearsed by a director who is a martinet and are about to stage a crazy musical. It makes no sense to them and they know it will probably turn out to be a disaster on opening night. So there is always the possibility of a cast mutiny.

Using an experienced, talented and enthusiastic cast and talented musical director Eddie O'Donnell, much loved BBC radio presenter Eamon Friel begins a new chapter in his creative career with this new musical comedy.

by Seamas Keenan

"Life is full of surprises. Old friends never let you down. First love never dies. We carry our secrets to the grave. Believe all that, and you'll believe anything!"

Thomas, a middle-aged man down on his luck, disillusioned, is content to while away his wasted life in death's waiting-room, listening to music, talking to the radio, and fighting with gangs of teenagers that disrupt his nights.

Who does Billy think he is, turning up at his front door after all this time, begging favours, anxious to rewrite his life story? And that the Hell's he doing, bringing Emma back into Thomas' life?

All soldiers share secrets. That's the nature of violence. What's the big deal about one long forgotten accident in a bloody catalogue of tragedy? You can't be responsible for everything. And sometimes, death can be least of your worries.

In ‘Star Men', the eagerly awaited new play from award-winning writer Seamas Keenan, directed by Tom Doherty, the three old friends confront their shared pasts in a welter of alcohol, vicious recrimination, deceit, powerlessness, ill-concealed desire, and claustrophobic, brutal humour.

2011 ~ KIND HEARTS AND GENTLE PEOPLE

by Peter McDonald

Based on the life of the 'father of American popular song', Kind Hearts and Gentle People is a fascinating look at a songwriter who has become the stuff of legend in America, but whose roots begin in Ulster.

Regarded as America's first professional song-writer, Stephen Collins Foster penned some of its earliest and most famous songs, including ‘Oh! Susanna', ‘Hard Times Come Again No More', ‘Old Folks at Home' (‘Swanee River'), ‘My Old Kentucky Home' and ‘Beautiful Dreamer'.

These songs, which all feature in the production, remain popular over 150 years after their composition. His songs have influenced many iconic music legends such as Al Jolson, Bing Crosby, Bob Dylan, John Prine, James Taylor, Bruce Springsteen and Mary Black, all of whom have covered his songs.

He is also one of the North West's forgotten famous sons; his ancestors emigrated from the port of Londonderry in the 18th century.

Written by playwright Peter McDonald [The Green Room, Five Years Time] and directed by Anne McMaster [Sad Silence of Snow, Noir], Kind Hearts and Gentle People is a tale of the triumphs and tragedies that encompass the life and times of a songwriter who, despite passing away over a decade before the invention of sound recording, a long career in music that is still cherished today.

2011 ~ THE WOOD OF THE CROWS

by Stan McGowan

A new play from the pen of Stan McGowan, which tells the moving story of the death of the young and beautiful Prehen House estate heiress, Miss Mary Ann Knox, who died by the hand of her much older lover, Mr John McNaughten.

Was the fatal shot that killed her and accident, or an act of deliberate intent in order to seek revenge from her overprotective father, whose opposition to their marriage would lead to this most tragic drama?

The story has engrained itself, down through the centuries, into the consciousness of the North West, has finally been brought to the stage. McGowan brings his usual sense of intrigue and mysterious foreboding to the plot.

Set against the background of Ascendency Londonderry two hundred years ago, this stunning production is a perceptive portrayal of Georgian manners... and ill manners!

'The Wood of the Crows' was restaged by The Playhouse in May 2012 in The Millennium Forum.

2018 ~ THE BOG COUPLE

by Liam Campbell | Directed by Kieran Griffiths

"They partitioned Ireland in 1921 didn't they? Well I'm partitioning this flat in 1976!"

Fate and a couple of failed marriages have crashed two men together under the same roof in the Rossville Flats in the midst of The Troubles - in what can only be described as the mismatch of the century.

Inspired by Neil Simon's classic script ‘The Odd Couple', this brand new laugh out loud comedy follows Oscar Meenan and Felix Young- both "Bogside men" - one a Catholic and one a Protestant; one is an easy-going, slob and one an obsessive perfectionist preoccupied with neatness.

2018 ~ THE MONK, THE BIRD, AND THE PRIEST

by Liam Campbell | Directed by Kieran Griffiths

Set in the 1950s, The Monk, The Bird, and the Priest tells the story of life, education, mercy and malice in a Catholic Boys' College in Ireland. 

For some of the pupils their schooldays are the making of them, for others they are a living and crushing hell. For the established order of the ecclesiastical teaching staff, the chief tormenter of whom is nicknamed The Bird, no humiliation, no beating, no mental torture is too savage in the righteous shaping of their wards. 

But for one principled priest, Father Jude Connolly, every day presents an opportunity to offer a resistance against the ruthless and established regime, and a chance to shine a little Grace and replenishing light into the lives of these Catholic boys. 

Based upon the first-hand accounts and real-life experiences of former pupils, this dramatic exploration of life in an Irish Catholic College in the fifties is by turn, moving, harrowing, inspiring and bejewelled with moments of dark comedy.

Toddlers are torn from their mothers’ arms at arbitrary border crossings, refugees deported back to certain death and torture, thousands drowning in the oceans, hundreds of thousands scrabbling for food in vast concentration camps.

A powerful and gripping new drama from Award winning writer Seamas Keenan, ‘Albino Parts’ is set in a very possible and near dystopian future where the abnormal is shockingly normal.
