- **Event Description**: The Moat Club presents two one-act plays in what promises to be an entertaining evening of theatre, taking us from the 1990 World Cup in Italy to present-day Ireland.

Here We Go, written and directed by Gerard O’Shea. 

Here We Go, a funny and poignant short play about a dad and son's wild ride following the Irish soccer team's 1990 World Cup campaign. For Des and his son Stephen, it was a time never to be forgotten — in more ways than one.  For the Italia 90 generation, this is a chance to keep that nostalgia going for just a little bit longer! 

Dada, by Frank Houlihan, directed by Mary Newman

In this dark comedy, sisters Nonie and Min have arranged to meet the local priest in order to unburden their souls. In the course of their conversation we learn some hair-raising facts about the lives they’ve led, all conveyed in hilarious, if deadpan, detail. Audiences who meet Nonie and Min will definitely remember them! Dada by Frank Houlihan was the winner of the DLI/ADCI annual playwriting competition in 2024.
