BROKEN CROÍ / HEART BRISTE<br />
by Manchán Magan<br />
A self-loathing dancer and a fanatical Gaeilgeoir<br />
seek to connect in a language lesson that<br />
swerves from slapstick to acrimony to personal<br />
revelation. Broken Croí/Heart Briste is a comedic and<br />
heartfelt look at fractured relationships, using a blend of<br />
Irish and English to reveal the warped truth behind our<br />
passions.<br />
Is it Irish? Can language be a weapon? Who the feic knows?<br />
Broken Croí/Heart Briste won the Stewart Parker Award<br />
for Best Irish Language Drama in 2009 and was nominated<br />
for Best New Play and Best Supporting Actress at the Irish<br />
Times Irish Theatre Awards and for two awards at Dublin<br />
Fringe <strong>Festival</strong> 2009.<br />
“Broken Croí/Heart Briste is much more than just a play<br />
about the Irish language. It is a comedic and heartfelt<br />
look at fractured relationships that utilises the<br />
dexterity of the language to bring the story to life.”<br />
OH, FRINGE!<br />
Performed in English and Irish by Manchán Magan &<br />
Eva O’Connor. Directed by Tom Creed.<br />
Supported by Foras Na Gaeilge.<br />

Invisible Atom<br />
Invisible Atom is an epic one-man show that<br />
takes place on an impossibly small stage. Atom<br />
is a bright up-and-coming stockbroker with a<br />
beautiful girlfriend and a new child. He has everything until<br />
he experiences a catastrophic reversal of fortune. We find<br />
him at the apex of a jump: the exact moment where up<br />
becomes down. In that split-second, time freezes and the<br />
normal laws of motion and matter dissolve. A tight, funny,<br />
and intelligent script and a virtuoso performance.<br />
Based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, 2b Theatre Company creates,<br />
develops, produces and tours original theatre experiences.<br />
“Every element falls into place with professional<br />
precision and true love of the theatrical arts... Go<br />
see this show and be inspired, entertained and<br />
intellectually impressed” NYtheatre.com<br />
