Act 1: Crossing the Rubicon
A new Irish musical with book by Ciara Wynne and music and lyrics by BLÁNID.
Five siblings journey from the timeless land of Tír na nÓg to be muses of creativity for mortal artists. They have a year to inspire works of art before returning through the gate they appeared from, offering up a song they have inspired as their ticket back. However, this journey has left them shaken and questioning not only the people they inspire but why they continue to return.
An enchanting piece of theatre you won’t want to miss!
Act 2: JILTED
A new Irish musical by Lauryn Gaffney.
Against the vibrant backdrop of Dublin, Jilted tells the story of Jill, an American in Ireland whose dream wedding swiftly turns to a nightmare when she is left at the alter and must find the strength to rebuild her life, with the help of her friends and her therapist!
With a powerhouse score and an unforgettable cast of characters, Jilted reminds us that sometimes getting left behind is the first step toward finding yourself!
Beyond The Wesht End showcases six brand new musicals in varying stages of development. These shows are a work in progress.
TW: Crossing the Rubicon: discussion of violence, sexual assault and suicidal ideation.
Jilted: reference to sickness, death.
