Can anyone, or anything, help her drift off? Based on a story from Steven Lee's best-selling "How the Koala Learnt to Hug and Other Australian Fairytales" this gentle, heartwarming show is just what you need to enjoy a cosy, cuddly time together with your family. So, pop on your favourite pyjamas and come join us for this enchanting sing-along musical presented with a magical mixture of live action, music and animation. Audience reviews for A Big Egg ‘It was just right for our young ones, a great show. We all loved it.’ ‘A most enjoyable afternoon for our grandchildren.’ ‘Brilliant, the actor was so good.’ “The children were absolutely gripped throughout.”

Guru IT is here! Don't miss this golden opportunity which, like seeing Halley's comet in the sky, is strictly once in a lifetime only. Guru IT! The Guru so real he doesn't know he is one! He doesn't even know what a guru is! Come and sit at the feet of this unique master of absolutely nothing. The Guru whose state of “not-knowing” is complete (unlike Socrates whose “not-knowing” was really a bit of a sham). The Guru who turned down an invite he never even got to appear on Oprah. Just in case. How authentic is that! If you think Eckhart Tolle and Sadhguru can flabbergast then you aint heard nothing yet. Come! Guru IT is waiting just for you. And he may very well change your life.

Seamus O Rourke in The Love Hungry Farmer by John B. Keane John Bosco McLaine is a man who has never lain down with a woman but has had romantic blood pulsing through his veins all his life. Always an optimist, and virgin in equal measure, he embarks on a search for an ideal companion regardless of age, failure rate or dammed advice!… and in a community where advice is ample and women few, he follows his heart in an ultimate bid to procure himself a wife. Often referred to as the natural successor to John B Keane as Ireland’s masterful present day storyteller, Seamus O’Rourke brings to life in this production the wistful, blundering, romantic John Bosco McLean, matching stride for stride Keane’s fantastic wit and way with words in an uproarious evening of laughter, love, hope and desire…
