Ben and Holly's Little Kingdom
Children’s heroes Ben and Holly delighted audiences with their latest show from The Little Kingdom.
Capturing the essence of the well-loved TV show live on stage, they invited us to join them in their various games and songs as well as introducing the classic characters that we all know and love. The bold bright set, as well as the full size masks worn by the cast added to the magic with the first half ending with the cast flying to The Little Kingdom with their new friend Lucy. Luckily Lucy’s appearance didn’t bring the trouble that my daughter had anticipated in the second half, but more songs games and magic!
Not only were we treated to a lot of magic jelly but a potion that accidently caused a lot of extra hair growth. Poor King Thistle! The whole show came to a climax with everyone being invited to get up and join in the dance along to a medley of the shows songs. Let the Dad Dancing commence!

Those that see this show will leave with a renewed sense of warmth and hope in their souls. It is a visceral tribute and testament to the music, the traditions and the culture of the people of the Kerry coastline
Dear England
Dear England
This play about football was not really about football at all. It was a play about male bonding, humanity, mutual respect, facing your demons, and about meeting with triumph and disaster, and treating those two impostors just the same.
2:22 A Ghost Story
2:22 A Ghost Story
This is a ghost story, not a horror story, with an uneasy atmosphere of impending doom. The play is handsomely staged, with subtle but effective use of sound and lighting. Along the way we get red herrings, misdirection and tension-busting humour. Robins even lobs in class-conscious social commentary into the mix.

Spectacular, colourful, funny and polished. What more could you ask?

Actors, directors and backstage crews work just as hard, perhaps even harder, when things aren’t working out, and I take no pleasure in finding fault. However, whatever the reason, the play was a disappointment

Ray O'Leary - Laughter? I Hardly Know Her
Ray O'Leary, is fair to say, has a distinctive way about him. Wild, curly hair. Beer belly out and proud. A face only a mother could love. And that suit. It's a look that says he knows exactly what he’s doing and that he does it very well.
