Old drinking buddies Ivan and Nicky are holed up at the house too, hoping to play some cards. But with the arrival of a stranger from the distant past, the stakes are raised ever higher.

Výjevy z vesnického života o čtyřech dějstvích v překladu L. Suchařípy. Anton Pavlovič Čechov, jeden z nejvýznamnějších světových povídkářů a dramatiků, napsal komedii Strýček Váňa (s podtitulem Výjevy z vesnického života ve čtyřech dějstvích) v roce 1897. Strýček Váňa patří k vrcholům jeho tvorby, mezi čtyři z jeho mistrovských dramat. Odráží se v něm nejen přelom doby, čas konce jedné epochy, čas horečného hledání smyslu, ale také čas skepse a tušení stínů a rozporů nadcházejícího dvacátého století. Zároveň je Strýček Váňa hrou, v níž se lámou žánry, je komedií se záblesky grotesky i poezie, ale také takřka absurdním existenciálním dramatem, plným situací tragických i neodolatelně komických.

An inimitably warm and stylish play that deftly mines the humanity to be found in the most unlikely of situations. Tommy's not a bad man, he's getting by. Renting a run-down room in his uncle Maurice's house, just about keeping his ex-wife and kids at arm's length and rolling from one get-rich-quick scheme to the other with his pal Doc. Then one day he comes to the aid of Aimee, who's not had it easy herself, struggling through life the only way she knows how. Their past won't let go easily. But together there's a glimmer of hope they could make something more of their lives. Something extraordinary. Perhaps. The Night Alive premiered at the Donmar Warehouse, London in June 2013, directed by Conor McPherson.

Set around a haunted house hemmed in by a restive, starving populace, The Veil weaves Ireland's troubled colonial history into a transfixing story about the search for love, the transcendental and the circularity of time.

Features four plays - three monologues and a three-hander.

The extraordinary musical by Conor McPherson, set in a 1930s Minnesota guesthouse, full of hope, heartbreak and soul, featuring the iconic songbook of Bob Dylan.
