I, For One, Am Aroused

This week sees 'The Theatre Machine Turns You On', a festival of dramatic work by emerging artists, take up residency in The Project Arts Centre.

Curated by Fringe favourites THEATREClub, the festival features nine productions over the course of three days.

One of the shows worth catching is Come As Soon as You Hear's 'Bang Shoot Blast', which kickstarts the festival on Tuesday the 1st at 6:30. Written by Karl Watson and directed by Liana Ni Cleirigh, this strikingly original play about the cycle of relationships packs a serious punch.

Also worth checking out is 'Please Leave A Message Under The Ocean', which is showing on Thursday at 7:30. Written and directed by the obscenely talented Shaun Dunne, the play tells of what happens when you forget old hiding places, find new ones and never want to leve the house ever again. Sounds grim but, knowing Shaun's previous work, it's bound to be several parts lovely.

Tickets for both shows are just €5 and can be booked through The Project.
