Transend Theatre Productions Presents "Trublin Dublin" A collection of three contemporary Darkly Comic Plays all set in Dublin Town. *Paddy's Purgatory* written by Tommy Nicholson and directed by Greg Marks A bitter witty widow. A still love-struck former mistress. And a gobshite ghost. Unseen by the world of the living. Paddy Nugent just sits by his own tombstone day in, day out. Can there really be a fate worse than death? Alarmingly, yes!! When the two women you never wanted to cross paths, drop by at the same time to pay their respects, the hapless harmless hopeless romantic is about to get haunted by the living! *A Critical Situation* written by Tommy Nicholson and directed by Ray Hoare When a young mentally disturbed inner city Dublin comic receives a scathing review from a pompous comedy critic. He decides armed abduction coupled with demanding debate may well offer up resolution. What follows is a quid pro quo with a similarly fecked up foe in a darkly comical show. *The Break of Don* written by Greg Marks and directed by Ray Hoare When friends meet up at an old mate's funeral, old habits of violence are never too far away. A drug fuelled reaction by Gero and Deco have them on the run from the biggest gangster on the Northside of Dublin. Who will win this game of hide and seek, where the spoils of the game are life itself.

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Show me the charities

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.
