Quick look back at our residency at the end of April 👀
It was a great week in the studio collaborating with playwright Simon Stephens on his play ‘Maria’.
Huge thanks to actors; Catherine Walsh, Cara Christie, Cormac Costello, Ava Manning, Ayoub Tomi & Joshua Wills who joined us to explore the piece 🙌
Some lovely moments caught here by photographer of our final day where we read thru the full script for an audience.
Thanks again to Zoe & Charlotte of the CTC for having us! 🙏

Gorgeous video by capturing the final day of our residency at the start of this month
We were in development looking at a beautifully challenging and thought provoking play, MARIA, by Simon Stephens. It has yet to be produced in English and we have been collaborating with Simon around this idea for the past few months. It was a joy to have him Zoom into the room before our reading and share some insights into his writing and the play.
It was a complete joy to work with a fantastic group of readers and people; Catherine Walsh, Ava Manning, Ayoub Tomi, Cara Christie, Joshua Wills & Cormac Costello. They brought such rigour, authenticity and consideration to the work over the day and a half! The conversations were HAD!
Huge thank you to everyone who came to the reading and big thanks to Zoe and Charlotte for the opportunity to dream and scheme. We’ve big hopes for this piece and it’s really special to us that the seeds were planted in the CTC. Here’s to growth 🙏

We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of our friend and performer Niamh Kavanagh.
Niamh was a truly gifted performer who could light up the stage effortlessly and a gorgeous energy to be around.
Al last worked with Niamh back in 2016/17 on ‘Will It Fit In The Van?’ by Conor Clancy & produced by which the photos are taken from.
Wishing her family and those close to her all the peace.
