Notes:

Book and Lyrics by Arthur Riordan, and Musical Composition and Sound Design by Bell Helicopter.

Synopsis:

It's 1941. Europe is at war and espionage is the front line. As the rest of the world gets on with the small matter of the Second World War, Dublin's lights burn flagrantly and Europe's intellectual elite has come to play. But suspicious messages on a radio requests-show have drawn the attention of M15 and a diffident young code-breaker is dispatched to Dublin to determine which side neutral Ireland is really on. Encounters with John Betjeman, Myles na gCopaleen and nuclear physics complicate his mission, but our hero soon realises that more is at stake than the honour of chaste local girl, Philomena O'Shea. Improbable Frequency is a musical satire that lifts the lid on Ireland's beloved neutrality and cuts to the heart of the tempestuous affair with our nearest neighbour.

Notes:

Based on the unfinished novel by Flann O'Brien

Synopsis:

Slattery's Sago Saga is the tale of Tim Hartigan, whose quiet life as the dogsbody of Poguemahone Hall is shattered by the arrival of a Scotch woman with an evil plan. Confusion awaits in the shape of a politically-correct Leprechaun, a beautiful typist and a tycoon T.D. bent on bankrupting the country...One part carnival, one part surreal satire, this comic masterpiece - nominated for three awards at the 2010 Irish Times Irish Theatre Awards - is catapulted with surrealist energy into modern-day Ireland.
