Siamsa Offer

Comfy Bums at Siamsa Tire

Siamsa Tire, which recently underwent an extensive refurbishment, has launched a tempting theatre deal to entice theatre enthusiasts back into its luxurious new auditorium.

Siamsa is offering patrons a special Drama Deal for February and March which covers admission to three plays - A Dublin Carol, Lifeboat and Remnants of Fear all for only 40 euro.

From Monday 12 to Saturday 17 of February, Conor McPherson's A Dublin Carol is set at Christmas time with Dublin undertaker John Plunkett feeling better than ever as he shares his wit and wisdom with his young assistant when an unexpected visit from his estranged daughter changes his mood and forces him to confront his chaotic past.

Lifeboat is presented by Cork Opera House on Monday 19 to Wednesday 21 of February. Set in 1940, it's an extraordinary true story of courage, survival and friendship which tells the tale of a ship full of young evacuees that sets sail from Liverpool for Canada. Four days into the crossing, the ship was torpedoed and sank, killing all but eleven of the evacuees. Two girls spent 19 terrifying hours in the water on an upturned lifeboat.

Remnants of Feat, by Gary Mitchell, is on Monday 12 and Tuesday 13 of March and is a satirical and hard hitting work dealing with the lives people torn apart by the post-ceasefire politics of working class Loyalism.

Three plays. Forty Euros. To think people complain about how expensive Ireland has become!
