LIME TREE THEATRE EVEN

We have a NEW number!

www.limetreetheatre.ie

I am particularly pleased about the calibre of theatre we are presenting this season. Orla Murphy’s deeply moving Remember to Breathe was getting everyone excited in Edinburgh this August, as was Prime Cut Productions’ Scorch by Stacey Gregg, winner of Best New Play in the 2015 Irish Times Theatre Awards. Amy Conroy’s Luck Just Kissed You Hello was the hit of last year’s Galway International Arts Festival and Seamus Moran’s captivating Have a Heart was described as a real tour-de-force performance. We are also supporting the finest local theatre talent with Sunday’s Child dark and compassionate Overshadowed.

Two exciting premieres by Limerick artists bookend this season. In early September, you can look forward to Eggsistentialism by Joanne Ryan, a journey of egg’stremes when one woman tries to figure out if making a life for oneself should involve making another. At the other end of the season, Margaret Hough’s new dramatical musical adaptation of Dickens’ classic tale A Christmas Carol, Scrooge, promises to put us all into the festive mood.

Families can look forward to our bigger and better Bualadh Bos Children’s Festival in October, running for two

weeks both in Belltable and in the Lime Tree Theatre.

I am very proud of the new partnerships and collaborations we have forged over the past few months. We have teamed up with L.A.C.E. to bring you this year’s Culture Night. We love the energy of the Limerick-based Polish Art Festival and are supporting them in creating a brand new piece of music by the composer Yola Wesolowska, Voice Encounters. We also look forward to welcoming Fishamble: The New Play Company to our artist development initiative, Belltable:Connect. Fishamble’s Jim Culleton and Gavin Kostick will start their renowned 10-months Mentoring Programme for Playwrights and Directors this September. And of course we are continuing our ongoing partnerships with Limerick Jazz Festival, Richard Harris Film Festival, Light Moves Festival presented by Dance Limerick and Seoda Shows/Dolan’s.

We can’t wait for you to come in and enjoy the programme.

Final Gala of 10th Polish Arts Festival in Limerick

Voice EncountersSun 9th October | 8pmTickets €10

This performance is an experiment with the voice that is a result of a 2 day workshop with the artists led by a composer Yola Wesolowska & musician Stan Michalak. It is an encounter with metaphysical voice, self-discovery of time, space & silence, coming from empirical experience to transcendent. Voice Encounters is about composition & decomposition through physical expression of body & voice, making your body resonate through the sounds, discovering the phantom of a pure voice and every possible sound, vocal meditation based on musical scales, building contra points resulting from a communication with the sounds.

Luck Just Kissed You HelloMon 21st & Tue 22nd November | 8pmTickets €16/€14

Mark (Amy Conroy) is now a man, but growing up he was Laura, a “girlish boy” who never fitted into the small town or her father’s view of who she was expected to be. Mark has been away a long time and he is back with reluctance and great emotion to sit by his dying father’s bedside and deal with a life left behind and blacked out like tin foil on windows. This is a play about what it means to be a man, and the complicated nature and fluidity of masculinity.

“Amy Conroy’s Luck Just Kissed You Hello is a rare achievement, a play that is polemical while remaining provocative, funny, and intensely moving” - Emer O’Kelly, Sunday Independent

Mary Coughlan Fri 2nd December | 8pmTickets €20/€18

Mary Coughlan “Ireland’s Billie Holiday” Mary is one of our greatest female singers. She has taken the classic standards of jazz balladry and the recent gems of rock and Irish songwriting, shaken them and offered them up new, like jewels dripping from the deep, strewn on black velvet. Reuniting with long-time collaborator and producer Erik Visser, Scars on the Calendar is Coughlan’s first album of new material since 2008.
