Hart in de winter
Montana, oktober 1891. Vanuit de Rocky Mountains is een bitterkoude winter onderweg. Het stadje Butte, rijk geworden door de kopermijnen, wordt bevolkt door Iersearbeiders. Een van hen is Tom Rourke, een jonge dichter en liedjesschrijver, maar ook een gevreesde drugsverslaafde en dronkaard. Net als tot hem door begint te dringen dat zijn leven nog maar weinig waard is, arriveert Polly Gillespie in het stadje, de jonge bruid van de diepgelovige directeur van de mijn, Long Anthony Harrington. Tussen Tom en Polly is het liefde op het eerste gezicht, en ze besluiten te vluchten, op een gestolen paard, dwars door de woeste natuur van Montana en Idaho. Hun idyllische romance lijkt echter gedoemd te mislukken als ze op de hielen worden gezeten door een groep zwaarbewapende schutters. Met Het hart in de winter schreef meesterverteller Kevin Barry een liefdesverhaal vol humor en hartzeer, in zijn kenmerkende beeldende, soms schaamteloze en dan weer lyrische stijl.

High in the mountains of south County Sligo, the McRae brothers are sleeping rough. Stuck in a dead zone and running out of road, Archie and Bopper have only each other to rely on as they try to restart their van, their lives and their Wi-Fi connection. And then there's the local police sergeant who is becoming more and more interested in their lives . . . The Cave was first produced at the Abbey Theatre, Dublin, in June 2025.

Godsent
Ken Dervin and John Spencer grew up together in the same Pennsylvania neighborhood, and in the same church their fathers founded in 1955. Almost inseparable since birth, they ran together on the playground, then on the football field, with their destiny of one day running the church as Pastor and Vice-Pastor ostensibly set in stone. Not long after inheriting those positions, Kenneth's faith in God and his church begin to waver when he notices his friend starts to change. John, who was once a devout, passionate, evangelical leader had shifted into a power-hungry preacher on the rise to national fame.When the opportunity to travel to the sacred land of Ephesus, Turkey and possibly expand the church arises, Kenneth cannot help but feel as if his friend is flying too close to the sun. Conflicted by his own failing faith and his loyalty to his friend, Kenneth must decide how far he is willing to go and whether or not his friend is really leading him to the promised land or his spiritual demise.
