This superb play by a former Chilean exile, is a poignant reminder of the atrocities that go unnoticed around the world. The play is set in a war-torn village where all the men have disappeared. Their mothers, wives and daughters wait by the river and mourn. It is only when bodies start to be washed up that the women defy the military in the only form of protest known to them. A powerful and very thought provoking play.

Contains strong language

In his second visit to the Abbey Theatre, Ian Keable, a recent recipient of the prestigious Magic Circle Comedy Award, explains and illustrates some of the techniques he uses to mystify his audience. Is the hand really quicker than the eye, is it all done with mirrors or does everything disappear up his sleeve?

Throughout the show, Ian performs a multitude of different tricks, demonstrating these secrets. He ranges from sleight of hand to traditional conjuring props to reading minds, but all have one feature in common: they are all performed with laughs galore. Of course, even if you know what to look out for, it doesn't necessarily mean you will catch Ian out - but at least he gives you a sporting chance.

Our talented, hard-working chorus have their chance to shine in solos, ensembles and choruses from popular operas and operettas staged to entertain you.

Kitty struggles to balance her family life, fidelity, a testing job and personal freedom in the truthful darkly comic take on life and how to survive it. The plays's emotional truth and honesty make it a first-rate play for today.

Two people, deeply in love, meet secretly once a year at the hotel where they first met.

This poignantly romantic comedy follows their unique relationship as it unfolds over two decades. Inevitably, over time Doris and George are changed by events in the world around them and by the circumstances in which they find themselves; sparks fly, it is the stuff of high drama. The constant factor in everything, however, is their unchanging love for each other.

Funny and touching, the play traces the complexities of human relationships, on a nostalgic trip through the politics and changing morals and manners of the 50s, 60s and 70s.

Relive those years in the delightful company of these two fascinating characters.
