Saturday 1st October @ 8pm
CallBack theatre presents Fred & Alice, written and directed by John Sheehy. Starring Cora Fenton and Ciaran Birmingham.
A blistering head wreck played at a hilarious pace!
It’s not easy to get by in this crazy old world is it? But Fred and Alice have discovered that all you really need are 2 tennis rackets, disproportionate reactions to minor accidents, an immature coping strategy and each other. Fred and Alice first met in the home. It wasn’t really a home but Fred always called it a home because that was where he lived, and if you are not living at home then where are you? It was love at first sight for Alice. Fred didn’t talk to her again for years but then eventually Fred got used to her and it was love at first sight for him too. From their days in care, to independent living, Fred and Alice negotiate the perils and pitfalls of life and love.
Come see this joyous celebration of individuality.

1980’s Dublin, Boy Meets Girl, Girl Unimpressed, Boy Starts Band. In 1980s recession mired Dublin, 15 year old Connor is forced to move from his comfortable private school to the rough and tumble Synge Street run by the Christian Brothers. Trying to nativate school bullies, a tyrinical principle, and his parents constant fighting, he finds solace in the the beautiful, mysterious, Raphina. In an attempt to impress her he enlists some local misfits and together they start a band. Inspired and advised in the ways of the world by his wise, mostly stoned older brother (Jack Reynor), Connor finds his voice. With humourus nods to The Commitments and plenty of 80s nostaglia, John Carneys third feature is charming sweet natured love story about how music can save your life.
