Mariela and José were once the golden couple of the Mexican artist inner-circle. Together they built a family and an artist colony to host friends like Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo, and Rufino Tamayo. But now their daughter has grown and run away, Frida and Diego are too famous to call, and artistic inspiration has been strangled by isolation and mendacity. Set in an empty artists’ colony in the Mexican desert in 1950, this mystery play reveals what happens to relationships when a long hidden family lie is exposed.

Blood and Dancing At Lunacy explore the highly charged issue of Irish Republicanism and how it affects the Irish psyche to this day. Seamus Scanlon’s Dancing at Lunacy is set in the early 1980’s, Belfast, and centers around an IRA internal security investigation. The alleged informer, an aging commanding officer is in a confrontation with a young sociopath with a penchant for pistols and The Pistols and bringing about change. Larry Kirwan’s Blood is set in January 1916. When James Connolly, union organizer and leader of the Irish Citizen Army, went missing for four days having been captured by the rival Irish Republican Brotherhood whose leaders were Padraig Pearse and Sean McDermott. His only comment was "I have been through hell." In Blood Kirwan explores those missing days and the effect they would have on Ireland in the years to come.
