On this Friday, 19th July, Friars’ Gate will host 'Bonfire Night' and 'Arsehammers', written by Claire Dowie, presented by Call Back theatre, directed by John Sheehy and performed by Cora Fenton.

This 50 minute show comprises a pair of darkly comic gems: 'Bonfire Night' in which a daughter takes her sweet revenge and 'Arsehammers', where a grandchild is sure that her grandfather's strange disappearances reveal supernatural powers. The delivery is natural and conversational. It's very funny: the subjects are serious but there is a wicked sense of humour underlying everything. Story telling with a difference and funny too! Most recently Cora has been seen as Alice in the acclaimed 'Fred & Alice'. Tickets €10

Children’s Toy Theatre – Treasure Island and The Warrior

On Saturday 27th July, Chameleon Toy Theatre visit Friars’ Gate with two wonderful productions for children ages 3–10. Using a child-scale mini theatre, complete with its own tiny golden box office, actor-storytellers will invite children to create the show with them using dance, lights, props and puppets in a highly intimate and imaginative adventure.

Tickets €6 and numbers are limited. 'Treasure Island' will run at 3pm – join us as we tell the tale of Long John Silver and Jim Hawkins our hero, along with pitiless pirates, prattling parrots, tremendous treasure, dirty deeds, charts, castaways, sharks and skeletons!

At 4.30pm we have 'The Warrior', the story of the fastest carrier pigeon in Europe, maybe even in the world. But he’s got to make it back to Cork from Rome in under a day, flying in the teeth of a hurricane back to the waiting arms of young Kathy! Tickets €6.
