Lucy Bastible by Denise Quinn 

July 6th - 8th @ 1pm

 

Directed by Mary Curtin   

 

If you liked Bardot Bites you will love Lucy Bastible,brought to us by the same production company. If you were a woman of consequence, a doyenne of your social set, a snob from your fingertips to your toes, just how would you deal with a straying husband? In this play, the darkly comic Lucy Bastible, we enter the world and crumbling psyche of the privileged Lucy whose husband Jeremy succumbs to the youthful charms of the 'impudent, predatory, puerile' Patrice. Lucy, described by one critic as  'larger than life and highly comedic', is not a woman to bear this betrayal lying down and she plots and executes a truly terrible vengeance on the errant Jeremy !

 

All tickets €10 including lunch.

Lunch must be pre-booked. Call 021 4505624 to book. 

Lunchtime Theatre
In high Germany

IN HIGH GERMANY

A One-Man-Show  

13th - 15th July @1pm 

 

Written by Dermot Bolger

Performed by Gerry Motherway

Directed by Liam Weir

 

IN HIGH GERMANY deals with the experiences and memories of an Irish football fan during the summer of 1988 at the European Football Championships in Germany.

While Euro '88 is the backdrop, much more complex issues, such as identity, nationalism and friendship are identified and explored. While the piece is excruciatingly funny and sharp in places, nevertheless we also see that comedic writing often masks deeper themes. With the current Irish economic recession Bolger's treatment of emigration and and exile are particularly illuminating. While the play is set a generation ago, the issues dealt with are just as relevant today, and are brought home to us in a witty and entertaining fashion.

In an acting tour de force, Gerry Motherway of the famed Comp�ntas Chorca� group, brings this exquisite piece of theatre to a vibrant, caustic and witty life.

Dermot Bolger's original script is directed by Liam Weir

'Tis Pity She's a Whore  

by John Ford 


July 27th & 28th @ 8pm

 

All tickets €10

Colton-'tis pity she's a whoreAgainst a background of lust, vengeance and greed, John Ford's `Tis Pity She's a Whore tells the stylish, sexy and fiendishly clever tale of the incestuous love between Giovanni and his sister Annabella that ends in disaster and death.  The Yorkshire Post says it's "Shakespeare as though written and directed by Quentin Tarantino."

Following the success of This Lime Tree Bower, Colton Theatre Company return with a brilliant team to bring you one of the most controversial works in English literature.
