No Smoke Without Fire 

It's hotting up in the smoking area with this one woman comedy starring Mary Murray (Love/Hate, Adam & Paul)

There’s  €60,000.00 in post office robbery money up for grabs and scandal knows no bounds as six women gossip intermittently in the smoking area of a Dublin pub leaking a trail of personal information behind them. As the innocent, along with the guilty suffer the stings of innuendo and the lashes of sharp tongues a hilarious tale of crime and it’s consequences unfolds.

 “Meaty and frequently hilarious.”...Emer O' Kelly- Sunday Independent

Some Of One 

Through this series of exploratory works Anne aims to unlock aspects of identity. Using photography she has recorded and observed intimate relationships as well as reactions to immediate personal surroundings. By taking consumable, everyday objects and merging them with organic sources, she responds to their transience, examining how function becomes nature.
