LUKE

NoRopes Theatre Company returns with their most exciting production to date, LUKE by Mairéad Folan (in partnership with Town Hall Theatre, Galway and Axis: Ballymun).

LUKE is Folan’s debut as NoRopes playwright/performer and NoRopes’ debut onto the Town Hall Main Stage. Directed by Diarmuid de Faoite.

LUKE is a classic tale of survival, adventure and love.

Meet the handsome if somewhat lived-in looking Luke (voiced by Barry Hopkins) and his sidekick Mairéad (Mairéad Folan).

Together they negotiate the perils of the Irish education system, the dance floor, love and loss. He has always been a guy she could lean on but can their unique bond survive the ultimate challenge?
