The idea of a showcase event has always interested Old Fruit Jar Productions. It is a chance to perform 100% original work with no limitations or setbacks, and a chance to prove to an audience they are more than just a theatre company.
Inspired by the innovative ‘The Comic Strip Presents…’ OFJ aim to produce high-quality theatre in a short, anthology format all tied under the banner of OLD FRUIT JAR PRODUCTIONS. And so, after two tumultuous years, OFJ are back on stage and proudly present an evening of three short plays written by homegrown talent!
Climbing from Pluto by Jordan Barkley and Alex Carr
Isolated in his room and navigating the depths of his own psyche, Dan is visited by 3 guiding lights on his voyage
through his own internal battles in a struggle to survive.
Love Target by Mark Davoren
Cupid shoots wildly off target when a blind date crosses a planned euthanasia; can he strike love second time round in this farcical black comedy?
Fractured by Alex Carr
Following the disappearance of their daughter, Mark and Marie recall the events that followed and how their lives remain fractured forever.
The three plays are directed by Alex Carr, and feature: Florence King, Josh Ennis, Christina Rose, Anthony Roberts, Jordan Barkley, Rachel McGrath and Ciara O’Neill.
