Death And The Ploughman
Synopsis:
Written in the 15th century by the Bohemian humanist and writer Johannes Von Saaz, Death and the Ploughman is a tragic dialogue between Death and a recently widowed farmer. It is here dramatised by the acclaimed translator Michael West as an adversarial duel where the farmer's defence of mankind is as strong as Death's ruthless prosecution of his own cause.

Dublin By Lamplight
Amidst the filth and fury of Dublin, 1904, the theatrical event of the century is about to explode - Will the National Theatre of Ireland seize its chance for glory? Fading stars, rebels, whores and romantics play out their dreams of theatre and nationhood. This is a night to change Ireland's destiny - unless it all goes horribly wrong.

Foley
Foley is the last of his family, among the last Protestants in the Republic of Ireland, "the end point of all that evolution and fruitcake". He attempts to recall his life, to work out what went wrong along the way, why he's so fond of an old pair of shoes. Michael West's award-winning monologue Foley is a funny and moving exploration of what your family really passes on to you.
