Come and be inspired by this imaginative dreamer who finds her voice, discovers the power of connection and sees possibilities around every corner. Book tickets here
Bloom

Running from Thursday, May 30th – Monday June 3rd, Bloom is a promotional vehicle for horticulture; providing a showcase for garden plants, garden design, construction, horticulture and gardening as a hobby. It’s basically Ireland’s answer to the RHS Chelsea Flower Show – maybe even better!

Walkinstown at Smock Alley Theatre
May 30th – 31st
From the creators of the acclaimed How To Build Your First Robot comes Walkinstown – showing on May 30th and 31st. A surreal soiree that traverses the streets of Dublin’s past, present and future. Two humans on a comedically cosmic trajectory, led by love, lust and all that’s elementary. A staged anomaly, a melodramatic oddity. This is not a play. This, is a theatrical odyssey. Probably.
