Trevor and Susannah, whose marriage is on the rocks, inflict their miseries on their nearest and dearest: three couples whose own relationships are tenuous at best. Taking place sequentially in the three beleaguered couples&#8217; bedrooms during one endless Saturday night of co-dependence and dysfunction, beds, tempers, and domestic order are ruffled, leading all the players to a hilariously touching epiphany. \u2018Bedroom Farce\u2019 will be staged on Friday 30<sup>th<\/sup> May at 8pm. Tickets are priced \u00a311 each.<\/p>\n<p>On Saturday 31<sup>st<\/sup> May, one of Ireland\u2019s truly great singers, Cara Dillon, will take to the stage. Cara has one of those rare talents you only come across a handful times in your whole life. Her staggeringly beautiful voice has the ability to reach inside the soul of a song and imbue material with not only profound sweetness but also poignancy and depth. Having won the All Ireland Traditional Singing Trophy aged only 14 she went on to sing with \u2018Oige\u2019, \u2018De Dannan\u2019 and then \u2018Equation\u2019. It was in this band that she met her husband and musical collaborator Sam Lakeman. The combination of Cara&#8217;s expressive vocals and Lakeman&#8217;s rippling piano and fresh production squeezed new life into ancient material. Tickets to see Cara Dillon perform are priced at \u00a320 each.
