CONAL GALLEN
One of the busiest artists on the entertainment scene presently must surely be 'Irish International Comedian', Conal Gallen. As the saying goes, 'good news travels fast' this being the case in Conal's professional world of comedy. For award winning Conal Gallen, this year is certainly going to be a memorable one as he entertains his fans and friends in his professional world of comedy - Conal Gallen style.

Monday 4th to Saturday 9th October at 8.00 pm
TRIPLE ESPRESSO
Lane Productions and River Productions in association with Triple Espresso Company.
A highly caffeinated comedy - for a limited run only, the show that has had America laughing uproariously for the past six years in returning to Ireland. Full of magic and comedy, original music and physical humour with elements of slapstick, vaudeville and a touch of audience involvement. Don't miss your chance to see the show that the Times Union of New York calls "genius, pure and simple!"

Monday 11th to Saturday 16th October at 8.00 pm
SPEAKING IN TONGUES
Civic Theatre in association with Quare Hawks Theatre Company
Wickedly comic, unbearably raw and strangely tender, Speaking in Tongues is a seminal work. It is about mistakes we make to patch things up. Four actors play nine characters who are all interconnected but not in the way they believe. The play is structured around three stories which give way to and follow on from each other. Speaking in Tongues has been a major international success. Written by an award-winning playwright at the height of his powers, Bovell uses mystery as the driving dramatic force, creating a poetic and intimate piece of contemporary theatre. 'A virtuoso piece, its structure is as cohesive as a spider's web.' (Sunday Tribune)

Friday 22nd to Sunday 24th October
