Sonnets for an Old Century - by Jose Rivera. Dir: Fiona McCluskey & Roisin Watson This is the last and only time you have to give your side of the story, as far as I know. What would you say?

The Terrace - by David Parnell. Dir: Karl Watson and Lola White Jane and Denis are best friends... maybe more? When Steve 'Mad Dog' Brennan takes a shine to Jane, it takes her some Eminem lyrics, dance routines and a little help from a hand puppet to figure out which man is right for her.

Never Swim Alone - by Daniel MacIvor. Dir: Ali Hayes-Brady
Two friends. A girl with a secret from their past. Who's taller? Who's got the "bigger"? And who has the gun? A comedy. . . in 13 rounds.

Dog of All Creation
Choreography and Performance: Emma Fitzgerald & Aine Stapleton
Fitzgerald and Stapleton's latest major choreography, written in words of extreme concision, creates a new dance language to convey the creation of being. It describes the will of a creative force, defying all impossibility, which makes life so that humanity can exist and suffer. A cosmic work that points to the future of human destiny.
