What's On

Ennis Players make a welcome return to the glór stage with this vicious black comedy about two feuding brothers, Coleman and Valene, who have just buried their father. Their constant baiting and provoking of each other frequently spills over into a cartoonish violence which further distresses the already maudlin local priest, young Father Welsh.  McDonagh's characters may be unlikable but they're also unforgettable. Darkly hilarious and occasionally touching.

This is a tale of three strangers…a father, a mother and a son. In this poignant drama, a young man’s return from World War II becomes the catalyst for an emotional tug-of-war in which love is a prize and a weapon. As the Cleary family struggle to reconnect after years of emotional distance, the effect of the negative family dynamics become all too clear. When it comes to family, there are three sides to every story.

A Murder of Crows is a dynamic and theatrically exciting work for children aged 8 and over, based on the classic tale of Hansel and Gretel. The play explores themes of famine, family loyalties and personal growth.

Six actors weave a gothic story of two children's journey from abandonment and fear to ultimate survival, seen from the quirky perspective of a chorus of raucous and garrulous crows, whose boisterous antics will delight children. 

A Teachers’ Resource Pack will be provided to all teachers bringing groups to the show. This pack equips teachers with a series of practical worksheets which provide a focus for exploration and discussion of themes raised through the play.
