SOMETHING new and exciting is happening at the Hawk’s Well. Beginning in May, the theatre will present a series of events at the theatre under the new “Studio at the Hawk’s Well” programme.
“Studio at the Hawk’s Well” is dedicated to presenting innovative theatre events in an intimate, unconventional studio format.
Instead of the usual end-on productions in the large Hawk’s Well auditorium, audiences will be able to see the productions up-close and in different performance styles.
In the new “Studio” programme the Hawk’s Well has created a smaller, intimate playing space that is perfect for theatre events that would lose their intensity playing to the larger auditorium.
They start May 7 with “An Evening of Ionesco” by the Dublin-based Danse Macabre Theatre Company.
The company specialise in the work of Eugene Ionesco. A contemporary of Beckett, Ionesco’s work is comic, absurd, playful and theatrical.
Here Danse Macabre present five short plays by this playwright: Salutations, Double Act, Learning to Walk, New Scenes A & B and Anger.
Studio at the Hawk’s Well is also interested in facilitating local talent. A script-in-hand production of “A Gilded Cage”, a play by the local playwright John Kavanagh about the Irish boxer Jack Doyle, is scheduled for May 21.
