Following the remarkable site-specific production of Macbeth last year, Out of Joint returned to the Octagon with a caustic and comic play about love and the wider world.

"You were supposed to love me.  You said it in front of sixty of our friends and family.  Even my father cried"

Neil's come a long way from the Armagh Observer.  But he's still restless.  Back from Sudan with a head full of nightmares, he takes a hammer blow to his life.  Is Sarah the one - or is she just new?

O go my Man, Stella Feehily's second play, was set in contemporary Dublin:

Do-gooding celebrity chefs, 12 kids of latte, and 1,000 Eastern European immigrants to serve them.  Her characters have enough trouble negotiating their own lives - let alone a crisis unfolding in the wider world...

O go my Man mixed raw emotion with offbeat humour and asked: is love really all you need - or is it just a distraction from the big stuff?

Writer Stella Feehily burst onto the scene in 2004 with her first play, Duck, a sell-out hit in London and at the Dublin and Edinburgh festivals.
