'Little Gem’ for Ramor

After sell-out seasons in New York, London and Paris and a sold-out seven-week run at Ireland’s National Theatre and a run at the Olympia, Gúna Nua and Civic Theatre are bringing their bittersweet comedy 'Little Gem’ to the Ramor Theatre on Tuesday 26th and Wednesday 27th October. Gúna Nua director and founder Paul Meade first read Elaine Murphy’s Little Gem in 2008 and promptly staged and directed the impressive debut in the Dublin Fringe Festival where it won several awards and went on to great acclaim at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2009 winning the Carol Tambor Best of Edinburgh Award. Kay’s got an itch that Gem can’t scratch (but maybe Kermit can); Lorraine attacks a customer at work and her boss wants her to see a psychiatrist; Amber has fierce bad indigestion and the sambucas aren’t getting rid of it. And then there’s Paul, who is just using Amber until he can get to Australia; and there’s the hairy man who fancies Lorraine but fails to rise to the occasion; and of course Gem, who doesn’t like the neighbours coming in to 'mind’ him. If all that wasn’t bad enough, Little Gem makes his presence felt and life is never the same again. Booking at the theatre on (049) 854 7074.
