The Moat Club: An Evening of One Acts

🎭 The Moat Club has a long and illustrious tradition of producing one-act plays. Our productions have won the 🏆 All-Ireland One-Act Drama Competition as recently as 2019. This April, we bring you a selection of gripping short plays!

✨ HUE & CRY by acclaimed Dublin playwright Deirdre Kinahan will be directed by Sinead Mooney. In it, two Dublin cousins, Damian and Kevin, are reunited for a family funeral in a highly charged encounter full of disillusion, denial, and dark laughter 😂.

🎬 Moat Club Chairperson Samantha Coventry will take on BABY STEPS, a brand-new play by Moira Mahony & Sarah Fahy. BABY STEPS made its debut in this year’s one-act festival circuit and was first runner-up in the new writing section of the All-Ireland One-Act Drama Finals. Ash and Chris move from their hometown of Galway to Oxford in an effort to fix their broken marriage and escape the small-town gossips. If that wasn’t hard enough, they’ve thrown in the one thing guaranteed to test even the strongest relationship – building a flat pack!

🎭 Finally, Mary Newman directs TRIFLES by Sarah Glaspell. Set in a prairie farmhouse in the early 20th century, the County Attorney and Sheriff investigate a murder in which a woman is accused of killing her husband. The female characters look at the situation from a woman’s perspective and come to their own conclusions, leading them to a difficult decision …….
