The Lieutenant of Inishmore

Thursday March 26 to 31, Subiaco Arts Centre, Subiaco

A satire of the absurdity and pointlessness of the Irish terrorist movement. Set in 1993 on the island of Inishmore, County Galway, the play centres on the fanatical leader of an Irish National Liberation Army splinter group whose devotion to violent extremism is rivalled only by his love for his cat.

Dance Nation

Friday March 27 to 31, Subiaco Arts Centre, Subiaco

Set somewhere in America, Dance Nation follows a group of ultra-competitive pre-teen dancers chasing national glory. The play explores adolescence, ambition, identity and the volatile power of female friendships.
