Welcome to the Irish Theatre Group's website

Our next play reading will take place on Tuesday June 12 at 8pm when we will be reading a new play by Loretta Stanley. All are welcome to participate or to listen.

The play readings are an informal affair where we take a play and read through it  on the night. Each of the participants reads one of the roles in the play.

For further details on play readings please contact Ms. Isabel Walsh at 0486 99 14 98.

Some blue horizon…

The Irish Theatre Group is please to support Andrew McIlroy's upcoming production 'Some blue horizon...' which will be staged from 3 – 7 June in the Warehouse Studio Theatre.

Liz has a problem – her credit cards bills get delivered personally by a bailiff; Elizabeth has a problem – she wants to stop her PhD and leave college; Dearbhal has a problem – it isn’t easy after all being a single mother, sexy - and an evangelical Christian. But all the problems fade into insignificance beside Brian’s – global warming, drought in Africa, tidal waves and special collapse. But what if getting to grips with his problems just makes everyone else’s immeasurably worse? Some Blue Horizon is a bitter, funny glance at what might happen if someone really took their fears in hand and did something about them.

Andrew McIlroy has adapted and directed many plays in Brussels, most notably Three Sisters, Hedda Gabler and Tartoof! (after Molière). He recently won a Channel Four Radio Play Award with ‘The Interpreter’ ; his short stories have been short listed for the prestigious Bridport Prize and the F.E. MacManus Short Story Award.

† Maria Knott, Rest in Peace

The Irish Theatre Group regrets the recent death of Maria Knott on 18 February 2008 after a long illness. Maria was an ITG stalwart for many years both onstage and behind the scenes. Her contribution to the group benefited all of us. Our sincere sympathies go to Tony and Maria's family.
