WHY MEN CHEAT
REAL BABIES DON’T CRY
The Hit Comedy from Ireland! Ever cheated? Ever been cheated on? Ever wondered why men can’t keep it at home? Over 250 men and women were interviewed to find out Why Men Cheat.
Sally, a widow buys a ‘new-born baby’, a life-like doll, from Jeanette, a ‘new-born’ artist. But Sally’s obsession with her ‘baby’ threatens to destroy her relationships. A bizarre comedy verging on tragedy from the celebrated writer Stewart Permutt, cast includes Janet Prince.

10 DATES WITH MAD MARY A ROMANTIC COMEDY (SORT OF)
Written & directed by Ché Walker | Music by Omar Lyefook | English Touring Theatre
by Yasmine Akram Calipo Theatre Company
I wanna be your man from now til I’m put in the ground… Oscar lives in the fast lane. He pays for sex and drugs but something’s missing. Brooding over what might have been, he is forced to reflect on his reckless lifestyle and is taken by surprise, finding love where he could never have expected… Featuring his own music and lyrics, this unmissable one-man show is performed by soul legend Omar founder of nu-classic British Soul, who again joins forces with award-winning writer/director, Ché Walker following their triumphant collaboration last year on the soul/funk musical Been So Long (Young Vic London, Latitude & Edinburgh Festivals).
Mary McArdle is the toughest fighter in town, a title that earned her the moniker ‘Mad’ Mary when she was 15. Now she’s 25, and just out of prison. Back home, everything has changed: all the old gang have grown up, and the only thing Mary has to look forward to is being bridesmaid at her best friend’s wedding. But even this comes at a price - she has to find a date for the big day, and finding a date in a town where everyone knows your name is not gonna be easy. www.calipo.ie | www.twitter.com/calipotheatre
