Description

Join for a night of two short plays, as part of the Mental Health Arts Festival 2025.

'Mother & Son' by Jordan Baker

As Jack spirals into another drink-fuelled depression, things are made all that much worse by the arrival of his estranged mother. Will grievances be aired, or will things be made worse? This is a story about the things we do for the ones we love, whether they are right or wrong.

'Elegy for Georgie' by Seamus Steele

This is a short play, dealing with the legacy of our “Troubles”, and the suffering that many people undergo many years after peace is said to have been delivered. (Winner of  the Skerries One Act Festival (2024)

Running time 25 mins, interval, 50 mins.

WARNING: Strong Language, themes of suicide and alcoholism.
