A Bakehouse Theatre Company production
 Written by Michael Healey
Directed by Danielle Easton
Featuring Peter Green, Roger Newcombe and Russell Hutchinson
Design Chris Edser; Sound Mario Spate; Lighting Jesse Duncan-Jones
Sometimes the journey is within.
A charmingly delicate comedy where one youth's self-discovery is the impetus for two old friends to re-examine their past.
Morgan and Angus - childhood friends and war veterans share a mysterious secret buried under a comfortable but hard working life on the land. Their routines are interrupted by the arrival of Miles - an ambitious city actor who stays with them to research farming life at first hand for a play that he is writing.
What ensues is an achingly funny battle between age and experience, youth and ideals, city and country life.
No-one knows just how much they are about to learn from each other as the lines blur between memory and reality, theatre and life.
An uplifting comedy about the power of story telling and friendship.
With:-
Roger Newcombe, Peter Green  and Russell Hutchinson
  The Drawer Boy was rated as one of Time Magazine's top ten plays of 2001, and was the winner of four Dora Awards including "outstanding new play".
*****The Drawer Boy is one of those productions that genuinely lifts the spirit with its ability to blend laughter with tears and capture your heart" - Mary Coll - Irish Independent 2002
 "The Drawer Boy is a beautiful piece of theatre" Sarah McNeill - Post 2002
"......in Healey's perfect script this is one of the best things likely to grace Dublin's stages - Sandra Hurley - Sunday Tribune 2002

Opening Night Friday Oct 31st
Season Continues Wed to Sat from Sat Nov 1 to 15.
All shows at 8pm
 A co-production by Rogue Shakespeare Company
and The Bakehouse Theatre Company
***** "a performance with unadulterated feeling and passion - choose New World Order" - Edinburgh Guide
***** "one-man epic...hard-hitting...superbly performed throughout" - One4Review
**** "Sharply scripted...Smith's honest, gritty delivery...weaves a tale of villiany and deceit of truly epic proportions" - British Theatre Guide
"Powerful terrifying and vital" - Daniel Sunjata (from "Rescue Me")
 From the creator/producer of the quintuple five-star rated, award-winning comedy, "Love Labours Won" (Pick of the Fringe" 2006 & 2007) comes Ryan J-W Smith's latest and most politically daring work: A tour-de-force one-man play, written, directed and performed by Smith, "New World Order" takes audiences into the pseudo-classroom of the would-be nefarious world ruler as he gives a master class in leading a nation to war through fear and propaganda.
In New World Order, Smith uses three characters to drive home the play's pro-peace message: Through the eyes of a war veteran (The Veteran), a nefarious ruler (The King) and an ultimately conforming audience member (The Fool), we are shown, step by step, how world leaders confuse, distract, terrify, oppress, detain, abuse and murder ordinary people (on both 'sides') for their political and economic gain. Never before has the truth of the business ow war, and our leaders Mafia-like behaviour, been revealed with such devastating honesty.
"Prepare yourselves, or leave, you have been warned;
This messenger of truth shall not be scorned."
