Imagine this: you’re walking up a mountain, through a forest of pine trees and you’re trying to find your Dad. He’s been taken by a monster.
Meet Robin, a ten-year-old boy travelling through the magic, fantastical woodland of his father’s storybook. A story which is as true as it is untrue, simultaneously fact and fiction. Join a group of young theatremakers as they try to understand, “How can we look after someone when we can’t take care of ourselves?” Chaotic yet controlled, childish yet adult, half dark and half light.
Warnings: contains some strong language

Paul Currie is hurtling towards Tiger Dublin Fringe for the very first time with the Irish premiere of his anarchic, bread-filled absurdist masterpiece after triumphant runs in Adelaide and Edinburgh. Enter a comedy sweat flume of mime, puppets and crowd participation on an epic scale. A one man Monty Python on acid.

Presented by Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Theatre Company
It’s 1966 and London is swinging like a new-spun noose. Francis and Aggie know all about risk: life in Kilburn’s gangland has seen to that. But now Daddy’s sick and the Bold Boys across the river are causing ructions. There’s blood in the water, panic on the streets. Daddy’s kingdom is falling apart and the girls have nowhere to run, nobody to help them. But then, oh then Francis comes up with The Plan. Two sisters. One city. And an empire that could tear them apart. A new play written and directed by Diane Crotty.

BRISEIS AFTER THE BLACK

Duration: 60mins
Presented by Dylan Coburn Gray
A show unlike any other, except one. Google Briseis + Achilles and you get scenes from the terrible film with Brad Pitt, not the weird but very cool experimental play from the 90s. This is a new version of that weird play, performed by the director and a volunteer who has no idea what their future holds. (Just like you!) It’s about myths and why we tell them. It’s about fate and how hard it is to look away when bad things happen. It’s about women and how often their job is to die, in fiction and life alike.
Warning: Contains adult themes
