This November, Barnstorm Theatre Company brings the acclaimed Irish classic Sive by John B. Keane to the stage of Watergate Theatre, promising a powerful theatrical experience for audiences of all ages.Set against the backdrop of rural Ireland, John B. Keane’s masterpiece, Sive, tells a searing tale of greed, manipulation, and the clash between tradition and the dreams of youth. Sive, a vulnerable young girl, finds herself at the heart of a spiraling family drama when a matchmaker and scheming relatives arrange her marriage to an elderly man, against her wishes. This poignant play explores themes of autonomy, love, and societal pressure, offering a gripping narrative that resonates with contemporary audiences.
The Curriculum Play Live series is a project by Barnstorm Theatre Company that brings the texts that secondary school students are studying for their exams to life on stage. It is a great way for students to see the characters, themes, and language of the plays in action, and to have fun while learning. The series started in 2016 with Translations by Brian Friel, and has continued with other classics such as The Plough and the Stars, All My Sons, and Philadelphia, Here I Come! & The Importance of Being Earnest in 2024
