Inis Nua 2010-2011 Season
Pumpgirl
by Abbie Spallen
January 11 - 23
In this gripping play from one of Ireland’s brightest new talents, playwright Abbie Spallen shapes a startling tale of three lives colliding in rural Ireland. The play unfolds with the story of a homely, tomboyish pump girl at a rundown gas station. When a local racetrack star becomes the focus of her obsession, the affair threatens more than the feelings of his disenchanted wife. A blazing success in Edinburgh, 2006 and at London’s renowned Bush Theatre, the play is in the best tradition of richly detailed and unforgettable Irish storytelling.

Dublin by Lamplight
by Michael West
Amidst the filth and fury of Dublin 1904, the theatrical event of the century is about to explode. Will the Irish National Theatre of Ireland seize its chance for glory? Fading stars, rebels, whores, and romantics irreverently expose the strange and lurid world of Dublin by Lamplight.
"West's script brilliantly mixes fact and fiction, poetry and politics." — Guardian
"A tour de force of theatrical vision ... wickedly entertaining ... It's like leaving the table after a perfectly chosen and cooked meal served in terrific company." — Sunday Independent
"Awesome perfection ... funny, clever, strange, and thoughtful." — Irish Times
"An absolute delight ... a triumph of innovation." — Sunday Business Post

The Early Bird
The Early Bird taps into the darkest fears of any parent - what if your child simply disappears? Debbie and Jack blame each other and themselves, and in doing so reveal the inner secrets of their own relationship in this disturbing and darkly humorous play. Butler's language moves between naturalism and hyper-realism, brilliantly capturing the surreal quality of the worst time in this couple's life.
