The Visit
Based on an extraordinary true story
The year is 1857. The great Charles Dickens had invited the equally great Hans Christian Andersen to come and stay with him ten years previously. Andersen, known for his spontaneity, suddenly turned up on his doorstep almost without warning and a very poor grasp of the English language. This sets the stage for a whole string of monumental gaffs, misunderstandings and odd adventures. The man who came to visit for a few days finally left for Denmark after six weeks leaving in his wake a family divided and nervous breakdowns on both sides. Andersen coined the phrase ’To travel is to live.’ Dickens might have been inspired by his visit to write his famous line ’It was the best of times, it was the worst of times’.

World Premiere
RUB-A-DUB-DUB
by Fergal O’Byrne
The comedy is set in the near future where three old friends meet over a weekend.
The gathering is watched over by SiSi, a sassy-voiced replicant who is powered by Artificial Intelligence & programmed to tell the truth. When one of the friends announces that he plans to end his life by euthanasia emotions run high, not least for SiSi who understands human emotions, but desperately wants to know what love is.
A comedy about technology and the endurance of friendship.
