Our incredible Pool (No Water) star Evanna Lynch is on the cover of the Weekend supplement for the Irish Examiner this weekend.

She speaks on how first appearing as Luna Lovegood in the Harry Potter films still dominates conversations about her career, and about how this production of the Mark Ravenhill play has been "transformative".

We can't wait for you to witness what she, the full cast and the whole creative team have in store.

Don't miss this shocking and savage play, staged in an empty pool underneath the Metropole Hotel.

10 shows are already completely SOLD OUT, with the remainder filling up quick.
