We have a few show announcements to announce this week but first up is our one furthest away!

See Effigy by Treasa Nealon in the Hawk's Well Theatre, Sligo January 2026!!

“The collaboration between a very clever author and an outstanding actor mark this piece of theatre out as worthy of the term classic.”

Armed with a bin bag full of childhood mementos, Katie returns to her hometown in Leitrim after the man who groomed her as a teenager passes away.

Confronted with her past, the present and a fiery future, she searches for a way to reckon with the hurt that has shaped her adult life.

Performed by Órla McSharry, Written and Directed by Treasa Nealon and Technically Designed by Caroline Norris
