| Length | |
| Review | |
| Other Info | During the late years of the nineteenth century and the early years of the twentieth century, Sir William Blake Richmond R.A. was one of the leading English artists of his day. Famed for his pictures of all the prominent families of Britain including the Royal Family. In addition to his vast panoramas based on Greek mythology and the many landscapes of his travels in Europe and North Africa, he designed stained glass windows around the country, and was an accomplished sculptor, carving, amongst others, the grave of William and Catherine Gladstone and The Athlete in St. Peter’s Square, Hammersmith. His long and distinguished career culminated in the greatest commission any artist in England might have wished for, the decoration of St. Paul’s Cathedral, a masterpiece that took him thirteen years. But as he worked on this masterpiece the world turned, and everything he stood for in art was set aside by the sudden surge into Modernism, led then by the French Post-Impressionists, his bitterest rivals in a world that no longer recognised his ideals or appreciated his skills. |

| Synopsis | Moscow 1948. Dr Brendan Regan, old friend of Eamon deValera, is on a secret mission to return some Russian Crown Jewels.The jewels had been taken back to Ireland by deValera in 1920 as collateral for a loan he made to a small party of Bolsheviks who were travelling around the United States trying to raise funds for postrevolutionary Russia. The Irish revolutionaries were on the same assignment. They raised many millions of dollars while the Russians collected almost nothing. At the end of the Second World War, both their governments are poles apart, making the friendship and loan an enormous political embarrassment for both sides. This play is based on real events. Official papers documenting the return of the jewels were released by the Dublin government in 1993. |

| Synopsis | What if Oedipus lived in Ancient Egypt, killed the Sphinx, and became a personality cult - his face on the cover of the Time magazine? Surreal version of Sophocles’ classical tragedy in the Thebes of Ancient Egypt - only this land of pharoahs and pyramids has popularity contests and papparazzi, too, and however hard Oedipus tries to modernise his people’s thinking, they only worship him more. |

| Synopsis | One wintry morning Prudencia Hart, an uptight academic, sets off to attend a conference in Kelso, in the Scottish Borders. As the snow begins to fall, little does she know who or what awaits her there. Inspired by the Border Ballads – and delivered in a riotous romp of rhyming couplets, devilish encounters and wild karaoke – Prudencia’s dream-like journey of self-discovery unfolds among and around the audience. |

| Producer | Ovalhouse and Amaara Raheem |
| Synopsis | From the war-torn city of Colombo, through the blinding white beaches of Botany Bay, to the chartered streets of London town, Shield explores myth, memory and mobility and the notion of searching for our ‘roots’. A contemporary tale about three voyages of discovery. The first, a historical legend about a Great Explorer, the second, a personal memoir concerning National Sorry Day (held every year since 1998 on the 26th of May in Australia to remember and commemorate the mistreatment of its indigenous population), and the third, a psychological experiment that could forever change your understanding of love. Shield is a cross-art collaboration with musician Tobias Sturmer, who fuses various world-music traditions with contemporary sound art. Combining dance, story-telling, live music, costume and filmscapes Shield is a physical and delicate journey to a fragile land, where identity, diversity and love are re-imagined. |

With tales of crap jobs, relationship disasters and intrepid exploration, Nick journeys from romanticism to reality and back again to question where we can really find freedom. Adventure/Misadventure is a trip of a lifetime told through a megamix of theatre, roller-skating and a dash of surrealism. Accompanied by a live score of puckish rediscovered pop classics performed on the harp; explorers welcome. |
