Having your heart broken has got to be the most humiliating, degrading and insanity inducing experience of anyone's life. From John Breen, the author of smash hit comedy Alone it Stands, Yew Theatre Productions Present Falling Out Of Love, a new romantic comedy based precisely on that premise. Barry loves Audrey and is going to bungee off the roof of her building to win her back. David has just broken Ciara's heart and now she is going to break his furniture. Edward has been carrying out a secret sexual experiment on Fiona for three weeks and she hasn't even noticed! Three relationships, two proposals, one doomed sofa - what do they all have in common?  Falling out of love: because there is nothing as funny as other people's misery. Directed by acclaimed director Mikel Murfi, the world premiere of Falling out of Love takes place on November 7th at 8pm at Civic Theatre Tallaght and from there it will go on tour to Portlaoise, Dublin, Waterford, Castlebar and Limerick.

A play about the life of Father Theobald Mathew, whose crusade led to the virtual elimination of alcohol abuse in mid-19th century Ireland. Despite his success in convincing three million Irish to pledge abstinence, the Capuchin friar was also embroiled in financial, political and ethical woes. The play explores Father Mathew’s struggles and honours his achievements as a social reformer, revolutionary thinker and charismatic leader.

CharlieBy John Breen 

Charlie is written and directed by John Breen writer and director of Alone it
Stands.

Charlie tells the story of the political life of former Irish Prime Minister
Charles Haughey who dominated political and cultural life in Ireland for almost thirty years. Opinion is divided on whether he was the greatest leader the country has ever had or the worst.

Under his leadership the state was corrupted, and the political process was
sullied for a generation. But Charles Haughey also began the discussions that led to the peace process, and laid the economic foundations of our present prosperity.

Charlie looks at his ascent to power in the seventies, to his wielding it and
losing it in the eighties and early nineties. It recreates the political and
financial world Charles Haughey dominated for a generation.

 It also looks at how such behaviour affected the normal citizen and in a fictional meeting calls Charles Haughey to account for his actions in the present. Charlie will resonate with audiences anywhere that the political process has been compromised.
