<p><em>"Once again, Barnstorm Theatre Company have come up with a winning formula"</em> <strong>- Kilkenny People</strong> <br /><br />Deggsie is fiercely sensitive to being slagged about his family. When his boast of having a new sleeping bag is challenged by Spider, Deggsie realises he will have to produce the sleeping bag or be found out. But Deggsie’s plans go awry. The only solution to his problem means betraying the trust of the one person who understands him...</p>

She’s a grumpy reclusive woman living in a hut on the beach. She scares people away with her sharp tongue and her “Keep Out” signs, but she doesn’t bank on meeting an endearingly cheeky goose who can’t read and understand “No”. </span><br style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:left;text-decoration:none;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;" /><br style="background-color:transparent;color:#000000;font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:left;text-decoration:none;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;" /><span style="float:none;background-color:transparent;color:#000000;font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:left;text-decoration:none;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;">The battle that ensues is full of fun and pathos and leads to a friendship that re-kindles in Martha a warmth towards those around her. </span><br /><br />First produced by Barnstorm in 2004 featuring actors Roisin Gribbin & Johnny Hopkins, the play was revived in 2007 with actors Rita Hamill and Gus McDonagh.<br /><br /><strong>2007:</strong> The Barn Theatre, Kilkenny<br /><strong>Tour, 2004:</strong> The Barn Theatre Kilkenny; Dunamaise Portlaoise; Roolaboola Festival; Mullingar Arts Centre; Garter Lane, Waterford.

A Murder of Crows (2011) by Mike Kenny
<em>A Murder of Crows</em> is a dynamic and theatrically exciting work for children aged 8 and over, based on the classic tale of Hansel and Gretel. The play explores themes of famine, family loyalties and personal growth. <br /><br />Six actors weave a gothic story of two children’s journey from abandonment and fear to ultimate survival, seen from the quirky perspective of a chorus of raucous and garrulous crows, whose boisterous antics will delight children.<br /><br />For children aged 8 and older.
