Murder! Mystery! Dolphins!
Hollywood noir meets contemporary Ireland, and nothing is quite what it seems.
When beloved dolphin Fungie is assassinated, it’s up to grizzled private eye Frank Finger to crack the case. But as he wades deeper into the murky waters of Dingle’s underworld, he uncovers a tangled web of property moguls, fascist clergy, and ancient cults.
Bottlenose is a madcap, satirical comedy that dives headfirst into the absurd.

Walden has a pretty good life – happily married to his mannequin wife, he works his pigeon children into the ground so that he may feast upon their eggs for sustenance. Walden is doing everything he’s supposed to do – so why does he feel so empty? Can his fantasies about his pigeons sustain him? Or must he do the hard thing, and face up to a great hurt done to him in the past?
A new one-man show that explores ideas of work, family, and finding purpose in a broken society through the lens of absurdity, pathos, and pigeons.

Relatability. Sincerity. True authentic self. No experience is off-limits in the authenticity arms race. Is this what audiences want? Hear the confessions of a talking dog, a sleazy lounge singer, an animal-loving Irishman, and a hillbilly to discover that the answer is no.

Homelessness. Gun violence. Minority rights. Sudoku. Emerging from the ashes of their previous theatre attempt, Oh!Scare Wilde Productions have found themselves in a changing world they no longer understand. Feeling pressured to offer commentary on the issues in society today, this troupe of four self-righteous actors will make it their mission to say something important. Or anything at all.

Seeing themselves in the misunderstood, depressed protagonist of Oscar Wilde's The Canterville Ghost, a troupe of four self-important actors attempt to adapt the story according to their vision. What that vision is differs for each one of them however, and simmering tensions coupled with incompetent stagecraft threaten to disrupt the production before it even starts.
