Graduate Success

We would like to wish continued success to 2006 Theatre Performance graduate Charlie Murphy. Charlie is currently in rehearsals for the role of Katie in John B. Keane's BIG MAGGIE with The Druid Theatre in Galway. This production can be seen in Galway and Dublin in November and then goes on a national tour. This summer alone saw her appear to widespread acclaim as Eliza in The Abbey's production of Shaw's PYGMALION (pictured above); tour with the Druid in America in THE SILVER TASSIE and perform in the revival of Enda Walsh's DISCO PIGS in London. She appeared in starring roles on television in 2010 in the RTE dramas SINGLE-HANDED and LOVE/HATE. She is due to return to our screens this autumn in the second series of LOVE/HATE in which she will reprise the role of Siobhan.

SHE STOOPS TO CONQUER

By Oliver Goldsmith

Directed by Tim Murphy

"She Stoops to Conquer or The Mistakes of a Night" is a stylish, charming 18^th-century comedy focusing on romance, mistaken identity, timidity, and most prominently, being true to who you really are. It is one of the few plays from its era to have preserved its regard throughout history and is still performed regularly across the globe. The daughter of a wealthy country man, Kate Hardcastle, is introduced to Charles Marlow, the son of a well-to-do nobleman, for the prospect of marriage. Yet Kate quickly recognizes one major problem; Charles is uneasy and tense around upper-class women, but he is quite the opposite around lower-class females! Kate endeavours to win his affection in the hopes that they will fall in love and get married by disguising herself as a simple barmaid. This and other "mistakes of a night" lead every character into a sequence of intricate and comical misinterpretations.

"She Stoops to Conquer" is an uplifting comedy suitable for all but the infantile.

the outrageous – so,do not attend if you are easily offended. This show is

Spring Shortz’11 and Love Bytes will also feature original works written
by students from the theatre performance course. We are proud to introduce
the work of Lennon Clarke and Luke Barry. These works have a fresh and
honest feel.

twisted, riotous, redemptive,frustrated, comic, addictive, lonely and
outrageous.
