Moonfish want you to get involved
Audience invited to play a role in Lunchtime Theatre show
Moonfish Theatre will present the Irish premiere of Brewers Fayre, by well-known Scottish playwright David Grieg, at Kelly’s Lunchtime Theatre -- Monday 15th, Tuesday 16 & Wednesday 17th March at 1pm.
In an unusual twist, the entire audience is invited to play one of the roles in this sensitive and topical play ‘full of questioning and tenderness about our sometimes desperate strategies for making life worth living’.
Tracking the unlikely connections between a depressed housewife, a single-minded athlete, and an unemployed man, Brewers Fayre is described by The Scotsman as ‘a small classic of our time’, and was one of the highlights of last year's Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
To find out more and take part in a unique theatre experience, check out the show, which will run in Kellys Bar, on Bridge Street, from the 15th –17th of March, at 1pm.
Tickets are €5 and can be bought on the door. Lunch is separate, and lunchtime specials are available. For more information check out the Kellys Lunchtime Theatre website - kellyslunchtimetheatre.blogspot.com or e-mail kellyslunchtimetheatre@gmail.com .

Dates: 29th, 30th & 31st March
Play: The Head of Red O’Brien
Playwright: Mark O’Halloran
Director: Rae Visser
The Head of Red O'Brien takes place in a hospital room, where the title character is recovering from a near-fatal assault by his wife. The nature of the injury, arising from a frenzied knife attack, has left O'Brien without any of the cognitive processing skills. Slowly, however, they have returned. Now, on the eve of his imminent checkout, O'Brien gets the opportunity to evaluate his life, as his desires, regrets and hopes are affectionately analyzed.
Writer, Mark O Halloran crafts a tragic-comedy in which ‘Red O Brien’ reflects
on the disintegration of his relationship with his wife while displaying
passionate storytelling on subjects as diverse as Sean Connery, James Joyce
to the ‘Cold war’. At times moving and tragic, at others funny and warm, The
Head of Red O Brien is the journey of a wounded and sensitive man from
conflict to resolution, ultimately towards a higher realization.

With the threat of their funding being cut, they pull out all the stops, to prove themselves to their hungry public…whatever the cost.
Will they succeed in entertaining, or will their oddly dark secrets get in the way?
Sit back and watch, as the lovely chaos unfolds…

Play: Husbands and Hats: A revival of two classic plays
A Matter of Husbands by Ferenc Molnár
One husband, one wife, one actress …
‘Isn’t it difficult, being a glamorous, attractive, successful actress? Men love you. Women hate you. Earnest young wives call to your apartment demanding you give them back their husbands when, really, you haven’t got them.’
A Matter of Husbands is a comedy of manners where two women engage in a battle of wit and guile in an effort to extract the truth.
The Lost Silk Hat by Lord Dunsany
A gentleman caller stands in a dilemma on a fashionable London street. He has forgotten his hat in his lady’s drawing room and can’t possibly go back for it. Not now, when the engagement has been broken off. But no gentleman can be seen in London without his hat!
The Lost Silk Hat is a light-hearted, yet insightful, examination of a man at a moment of romantic crisis, seeking help from strangers. Only a poet comes to his aid. But is a poet the man for the job?
