b(l)oom
Written by William Dunleavy
Directed by Grace Morgan
presented by tasteinyourmouth
Performed by Laoise Murray and Heather O’Sullivan
The New Theatre, January 2020.
A coffee cup smashes. A cigarette burns. A woman steps off a balcony. How does it spin so quickly out of control?
Witness the destruction of Dublin and every stone, street and landmark you’ve ever known and loved. Let your mind wander with us through a visceral and blackly comic fantasy. Wouldn’t you like to know what would happen if the thoughts in your head were suddenly real?
B(l)oom is the tale of two women and a city at its end. It is set in Powerscourt and GAA clubs and Donnybrook and on O’Connell bridge and in the place your mind goes to when you let it drift. It is all in your head.
Two women destroy Dublin. Dublin destroys two women. Welcome to the worst commute of your life.

Co directed by Choy – Ping Clarke – Ng and Grace Morgan

Where are you from?" is a common question, but its connotations and answers are often complicated.

Clarke-Ng 吳彩萍 explores this, as someone who speaks only English, likes to dance and is looking for home.

Waterford Crystal
Written and Performed by Lisa Nally.
Directed by Grace Morgan
Presented by OXBO theatre.
No horses were harmed in the making of this play…we think.
In the 2004 Athens Olympics, Cian O’Connor was the only member of Team Ireland to win a gold medal. He was welcomed home a hero. But subsequently discovered his horse, Waterford Crystal, had failed a drug test, testing positive to the use of “performance-enhancing substances”. What followed was an onslaught of weighted accusations, insane sponsorship links to the Irish Times, a horse on human antidepressants, ridiculous robberies, Charlie Bird’s fax machine, and a disappearing urine sample - ultimately leading to the stripping of his gold medal.

Something is happening under the surface.
An uncontrollable wave is starting to bubble.
Anything could tip the balance.
But what started this fire?
And can Katie hold it in?
