IRISH NATIONAL TOUR & EDINBURGH FRINGE 2024
NO ONE IS COMING
Sinéad O’Brien’s “STORYTELLING MASTERCLASS” (To-Do List London) No One Is Coming, embarks on an Irish National Tour this Spring 2024 after a five-star run at Edinburgh Fringe in August 2023.
“A love letter to my mother that I will never send,” No One is Coming is a dark comedy of mythical proportions about a daughter and mother’s turbulent relationship. Sinéad infuses old Irish folklore with modern day mammy issues to process her mother’s mental health struggles and their resulting estrangement.
Presented by Wandering Stories and Fair Play Productions.
Written and performed by Sinéad O’Brien.
Directed by Sahand Sahebdivani

OFF-BROADWAY APRIL 2024
THE DOUBLE BASS
The Irish National Orchestra's double bassist is about to do something big. Maybe. You see, it's the very presence of the double bass that makes an orchestra. Take out the bass and you create pandemonium. In Sean Gormley's world premiere translation of Patrick Süskind's acclaimed play, The Double Bass, this maestro is ready to confront the instrument that dominates his life and handicaps his efforts to attract the woman of his dreams.
Running from April 12th until April 28th at The Cell Theatre in Chelsea, New York City. In presentation with Origin Theatre’s 1st Irish Theatre Festival 2024.
Translated and performed by Sean Gormley

THE ESCAPE
While recovering from brain surgery, a young woman hallucinates a plan to escape from the hospital’s ICU with the help of Irish Republican (and famed jail-breaker) Hugh McAteer. The Escape explores conflicting efforts to bring self-determination to the north of Ireland, begging the question - what are the people of Derry meant to do with all their rage?
