Competition Closed: Another chance to catch the wonderful Little Gem

*** Competition Closed ***

*** Congratulations to Padraig ***

** Thank you to everyone who entered **

A couple of months ago I went to see Little Gem in the Peacock Stage at the Abbey Theatre. It’s truly one of the best things I’ve seen on stage in years; moving, funny and very clever.

Though tight, smart and brilliantly staged, it’s one of the most accessible Irish plays I’ve seen in some time. It really is a play for everyman, or indeed everywoman, as it centres on the lives of three generations of Dublin women – Amber, her mother Lorraine and the show-stealing grandmother Kay.

Well, I’m happy to report that it’s now visiting the Axis Theatre in Ballymun from 23rd to 27th March. I urge you to see this wonderful Irish play.

Little Gem

If you would like to go along to see Little Gem in the Axis on Saturday 27th March, drop a comment below. Winners will be selected on Saturday 19th, so you’ll have plenty of time to prepare for a night out at the theatre.

But even if you don’t win, if you would like more information or tickets visit the Axis website and click here for my full review from January.
