ŠtouchedŠ
By Ursula Rani Sarma. Buried alive in their sad, sozzled uncle¹s rural pub in the ³crotch of the country², Cora and Mickey ­ still barely more than children ­ are determined to escape. Particularly as Cora has a secret, one she has been harbouring ever since the day of her tenth birthday, when the local doctor took her to the beach for raspberry-ripple ice cream. Ursula Rani Sarma¹s play is fast, furious, meltingly lyrical and full of physical poetry as it deftly transports us from city to country and back again, and from harsh memories to even harsher realities in Dublin on New Year¹s Eve 1999. 8pm (no show on Sunday), tickets: f18/13. Box Office: 4501673. Studio 1, Everyman Palace Theatre, MacCurtain Street.

Losing Steam
By Ray Scannell. Commissioned by Corcadorca, Scannell¹s script is based on the closure of the Fords and Dunlops plants in Cork in the early eighties.

Losing Steam centres on two families caught up in this economic crisis on different levels, and portrays the effect it had on their lives. Using the vibrant live music scene of the time as a backdrop, it cleverly reflects the atmosphere that prevailed in the city. 8.30pm (no show on Sunday), Previews 15th & 16th, Tickets: f15/12 (previews tickets: f12/10.
