    The Pride of Parnell Street

    image

    Italy 1 - Ireland 0...The score that marked Ireland's demoralizing exit from the 1990 World Cup took its toll on many Dubliners - especially Janet and Joe Brady of Parnell Street, who lost far more than the match that night. In two poignant, interweaving monologues, Janet and Joe reveal the intimacies of their love and the rupture of their marriage as well as their affection for Ireland's most famous city. The Pride of Parnell Street is an intimate, heroic tale of ordinary and extraordianry life on the streets of Dublin by one of Ireland's greatest living playwrights.

    Art

    image

    How would you feel if your best friend did something so colossally unfathomable that it made you doubt the very basis of the friendship? When an art lover buys a painting for a very expensive sum, his best friend goes ballistic. A third is pulled into their wrangling, and battle lines are drawn. By turns funny and explosive, Yasmina Reza (author of the Broadway hit God of Carnage) crafts a sly, reveling portrait of what men expect from their friends - and themselves.
