14 APRIL - POPPIES -

'Johnjoe and Jim clash over the wearing of a poppy. The best friends address what the symbol represents to their respective heritage and attempt to navigate their way through this historic subject matter in relation to their friendship and the British Empire’s devastating, lasting impact in Ireland.

This naturalistic conversation develops into surreal hypotheticals that explore autonomy, societal expectations and childhood memories. Amidst this, their relationship falters as they both realise they are fundamentally different people .
‘Poppies’ depicts a modern day tragedy of stubbornness, repressed anger and identity in a time where this lack of footing soft launches so many young
men into dangerous ideals.

Co created and performed by Jim Spencer Broadbent and Johnjoe Irwin

28 APRIL - KIERAN (Rehearsed Reading) -

Inspired by writer Molly Cass O’Donnell’s personal loss, Kieran follows an Irish Catholic family in the midst of their grief as they come together at a wake. What can you say when you refuse to discuss the elephant in the room?

What happens when you mix multiple generations, clashing cultures and alcohol together? Kieran hopes to shine a light on toxic masculinity and the men's mental health crisis.

Brought together, over four rehearsals, by an extraordinary ensemble of seven with the support of Greenwich Theatre and Pultrichude Theatre Company this will be Kieran's theatrical debut.
