🎭Genesis - A rehearsed reading by Niamh Fennessy
📆 September 9th 7:30pm
🎟️ https://theatreroyal.ie/event/genesis-by-niamh-fennessy/

What do you do when the weight of memory is too heavy to hold?

Genesis follows Paul as he reckons with his own faith and sexuality alongside his two unlikely companions and paramours, Jesus Christ and Judas Iscariot. Obsession and desire run parallel to one another in their unconventional and dysfunctional relationship.
As he recounts his past, memories begin to repeat themselves and fracture.
What is real and what is not?
Thoughts of Naomi. His Mother. His Father. Old friends. The Son of God. An awful wrong.
The past refuses to stay buried in this subversive and experimental piece of new writing.

🎭 What Are You Afraid Of? by Peter Hanly
📆 15th - 16th September
🎟https://theatreroyal.ie/event/what-are-you-afraid-of/

For thirty years, Peter Hanly enjoyed a successful career on stage and screen.
Then, during a rehearsal in 2011, he was overcome by stage fright.
Within a year, he had stopped acting.

Now, in this funny, moving and deeply personal production, Hanly returns to the stage in a cast of three to explore what happened and examine the role fear plays in all of our lives – with a touch of theatrical magic
