HOTHOUSE

WINNER BEST PRODUCTION AND BEST DESIGN ENSEMBLE AT DUBLIN FRINGE FESTIVAL 2023

Originally scheduled to premiere in March 2020 – this is a new play with songs and a ship's captain pulling the strings. Ruth in 1969 refuses to eat sandwiches with lettuce in them. Ali in the present day goes on a cruise to say goodbye to the ice. A parent 100 years in the future tells their child it gets better, even though we're pretty sure they're lying. HOTHOUSE is about horny songbirds, parents, love, legacy, and wanting to change, but not knowing how.

With HOTHOUSE, MALAPROP once again make big ideas urgently human. And funny! This show is not just One More Thing to Feel Scared About. We promise. Climate breakdown is so huge that feeling bad is too small a feeling to really do it justice. So why not laugh about death? Why not do a drag cabaret about bees going extinct? Why not play some banging tunes while the ship sinks?

Come along: Laugh. (Loudly.) Panic. (Controlledly.) Think about needing to change (desperately), but not knowing how. Written by Carys D. Coburn with MALAPROP, HOTHOUSE is a new play with songs – about cruise ships, horny songbirds, parents, love, legacy, horny rabbits, Minnie Riperton, and whether things can ever get better.

Where Sat The Lovers

Imagine you're scared for your adult sibling. They're on the brink and you want to keep them safe. You think they're mentally ill but they think they're just left wing.

To make the right choices together you'll need to know the right things. The big question: how do you know if you know the right things?

Where Sat The Lovers is about codes, hallucinations, Isaac Newton, warcrimes, seeing meaning where there's none and vice versa. It's about facing an overwhelming world and trying to make sense of it all.

The Half Promised Land

 

SET AND COSTUME DESIGN BY: Molly O’Cathain

LIGHTING DESIGN BY: John Gunning

WRITTEN BY: Maeve Binchy

DIRECTED BY: Maisie Lee
 

The Half Promised Land was Maeve Binchy’s first full-length stage play adapted from a story in her collection My First Book, from 1970.

Influenced by time she spent in Isreal, Binchy’s play revolves around two Irish schoolteachers’ experience on a working holiday spent in a rural community on a kibbutz in Israel in 1966.
Binchy explores their actions and emotions as they are confronted with issues of tolerance, belonging and forgiveness, abortion, mental illnesses, and racism.

Performed by graduating students of the BA Drama (Performance) at DIT Conservatory of Music and Drama.
