Welcome to The Core Dublin and The Trojan Women - a unique and entertaining production of a classic Greek tragedy. The Third Tragedy by Euripides opens in front of the walls of the ruined city of Troy amidst scenes of carnage, destruction and mourning. The story follows the lives of the women of Troy - their challenges, tragedies and prayers - through a situation which seems desperate and void of hope. Hecuba (Phyllis Carthy), the Trojan Queen and mother of Paris (the young prince whose actions caused the war), is left bereft of all her worldly and spiritual possessions and family connections and thrown into a world of slavery for which she was ill prepared. Through her lamentations, Euripidies has found the authoritative voice of all those who have been faced with life-changing challenges and relates the message in a poetic, ritualistic and ultimately human way. Andromache (Linda Teehan), her daughter-in-law is central to the recovery of the women, sharing with them strength and passion. The Core Dublin are a new group of actors founded in Dublin in 2008 by the Brazilian award winning actor and director Rodrigo Rodriguez, author of Facial Expression for Actors (Facial para o Ator in the original Portuguese) a new technique which he has been crafting over the years using understated facial expressions and deliberate body movement to convey the deepest sense of human emotions, a technique befitting Euripides tragedy. The Core Dublin will premier this technique in Ireland to portray a message reflecting the current state of war-play and the economic crisis in the world - using this old lesson to tell some new stories through the expressions of the actors on stage and through the costumes in which they live throughout the production. Long standing Dublin director Alan King will join Rodriguez as co-director of The Trojan Women, and place his trademark brand of grit and realism on the show, and he also possesses the necessary language to aid Rodriguez in bringing this radical new approach to theatre to the Irish audience. The Core Dublin brings a true tale of war, loss, fear, humanity, femininity and power to the Dublin stage.

There, we also meet an entire cross-section of disco-goers, including sleazy DJ�s, rugger buggers, pogo-ing punks and drunken slobs! The evening's events are set against the tatty glitzy glamour, flashing lights and pulsating beat of the night-club scene. Beneath the comedy lies some very serious "social comment", not so much the voiced comment but the impression of the desperately empty lives of all the characters, male and female, bouncers and clubbers.

If it keeps goin the way it�s goin you won�t be able to fart for fear the guards�ll lock ya up for makin noise� When Micheal Martin Irelands Minister for Health introduced a ban on smoking in public places in March 2004 he started a debate that turned father against son and brother against brother. In pubs all over the country non smokers cheered in the new clean air legislation and shouted their approval as marginalized smokers were forced onto the street or into hastily built lean-tos. Smokers in turn rounded on non smokers and legislators, predicting an end to the pub culture of the country and vilifying "nanny state" politics. Scandal knows no bounds as seven women gossip intermittently in the smoking room of a Dublin pub, leaking personal information as they go.

Irvine Welsh's Ecstasy. Adapted by Kevin Wyatt.
17/May/2011 - 21/May/2011 : " 'Ecstasy' by Irvine Welsh, is set in Edinburgh against the backdrop of the early 90's rave scene. Our members and our audience will be familiar with Welsh's other works, in particular 'Trainspotting' which achieved great success and depicted heroin addiction. The subject matter of the play, the language used and many of the scenes presented new challenges for our entire team and provided an excellent opportunity for those on a...nd off stage to develop their skills. For me, I've always had a soft spot for the music and ethos of the rave culture. The high energy, anthemic music was pretty much all I listened to at the time. The friendly vibes and dancing contrasted with the dark and introspection of the grunge sceneof the time. However there was a dark subculture within that scene. Making it both an uplifting and tragic cultural background for the story ". Director Dave McGowan The play runs from the 17th to the 21st of May. Doors open at 7.30 and the play begins at 8 sharp!
