SUMMARY:Violet Gibson; The Woman Who Shot Mussolini
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday 22nd – Saturday 25th July @ 8pm\nplus Lunchtime shows: Thurs. and Fri. @ 1pm\nNoggin Theatre Company presents\nViolet Gibson;\nThe Woman Who Shot Mussolini\nWritten by Alice Barry\nOn 7 April 1926\, Violet Gibson\, an Irishwoman\, fired on Mussolini in the Piazza del Campidoglio in Rome — an act that grazed the dictator’s nose and reverberated across Europe. A century later\, that moment feels eerily current. As the world grapples with the resurgence of authoritarianism\, Gibson’s story serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of standing up for what is right\, even in the face of overwhelming adversity. This production offers a rare opportunity to delve into the psyche of a suppressed Victorian woman who defied societal norms and challenged the political establishment of her time. From her privileged upbringing in Ireland (her father was Lord Ashbourne) to her eventual confrontation with fascism\, audiences witness the gripping journey of a real woman driven by conviction and courage. \nAlice Barry delivers a mesmerising performance\, embodying the complexities and nuances of Violet Gibson’s character with unparalleled skill and emotional depth. Gibson’s legacy is honoured with authenticity and respect. \nThis is a timely exploration of power\, resistance\, and the enduring legacy of individuals who dare to challenge injustice. \nREVIEWS:\n“ … a visionary espousing a more dramatic\, interesting and influential role for women in society.”\n“…observational pearls too\, strung together by a very particular and engaged performance of an interesting woman who has been rescued from some of the dustier pages of history.” – Liam Heylin\, Evening Echo \nCAST & CREATIVE TEAM:\nWritten and Performed by Alice Barry\nDirector – Jason Byrne\nAssociate Director – Hanan Sheedy\nDesigner – Steve Neale \nRunning time:  75 Minutes | No interval\nAge recommendation: 13+ \nTicket prices: \nTickets for the 8pm shows are €18*. \nFor the lunchtime performances\, patrons can choose either a Show & Lunch ticket for €20* (which includes a choice of sandwich & tea or coffee\, served from 12 noon until 12.45pm)\, or a Show Only ticket for €15*.

SUMMARY:The Rime of the Ancient Mariner
DESCRIPTION:Saturday 5th September @ 8:00 pm\nThe Hungry Grass Theatre Company Presents\nThe Rime Of The Ancient Mariner\nDirected by Sue Hill\nPerformed by John O’Mahony \nA spellbinding theatrical retelling of Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s timeless masterpiece\, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner. Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s story of an epic sea journey\, written in 1797\, centres around the killing of a harmless sea-bird – the albatross. The havoc wreaked by this pointless act of vandalism explodes into one of the most popular and best-loved poems in the English language – an epic tale of guilt\, redemption\, and humanity’s relationship with the natural world. \nIn an age that is increasingly aware of humanity’s relationship to\, and dependence upon\, the environment\, Coleridge’s ‘poem of the biosphere’ is undergoing a popular revival. And no wonder; it is a rollicking good yarn suffused with elements of the gothic and the downright ghostly… \nREVIEW\n“This Rime Of The Ancient Mariner is a thoroughly absorbing piece of theatre\, flawlessly performed by an actor drawing upon a wide experience of theatre of all kinds.” \n“John O’Mahony’s theatre company The Hungry Grass has a Cassandra-like mission to create work that carries warnings\, urgent messages of contemporary relevance. This superb performance of The Rime Of The Ancient Mariner delivers its particular warning with commendable power.” \n★★★★★ Mike Whitton\, Stage Talk Magazine \nAge recommendation: 12+\nRunning time: 60 min | No interval\nTickets: €20 | €15 | Booking fees apply.
