Dive into spooky tales and epic sea adventures at THE RIME OF THE ANCIENT MARINER—live and in person!

The Hungry Grass Theatre Company presents THE RIME OF THE ANCIENT MARINER in St Catherine’s Cultural Centre Kinsale August 8th

“One of the best pieces of theatre seen on the small-scale touring circuit for a number of years.”
(Brighton Festival: Pork Bellies).

THE RIME OF THE ANCIENT MARINER
” a stunning performance.....a testament to O’Mahony’s skill as a storyteller”
(‘Intemperance’ - the New Vic)

Freddie White has long been synonymous with music of the highest quality. He has been part of the fabric of the live music scene in Ireland since the 1970’s and his albums continue to sell well, amongst his loyal and newfound fan base.

“The sparse and haunting ‘Live on Tour’ is still among the greatest Irish albums of all time.

‘Do You Do’ swings and struts just as profoundly. Imagine those two cuts of vinyl made decade ago, they still stand as perfection” (Irish Times)

Freddie moved to Sydney, Australia in March 2011 but continued to tour Ireland and the UK regularly. He then resided in New York City for several years and has now returned to Ireland. Freddie’s performances will feature new songs along with his classics from his 40-year career as a principal in the orchestra of Irish folk and rock music.

What possibly could go wrong?!?

Pull Hard is a brand-new stand-up comedy show that deals with fatherhood and middle age and the lingering disappointment of lost opportunity. The hour is seasoned with tales of GAA matches, failed diets and expensive babysitters. Above all it’s a show about hope and endeavour.

Cornelius has performed all over Ireland to thousands of souls. internationally at festivals such as Edinburgh Fringe and nationally at the likes of Kilkenny Cat Laughs and the Paddy Power Comedy festival amongst many more.
