Award-winning theatremakers Clare Monnelly and Bob Kelly bring The Hare to Belltable

The Hare dress rehearsal in Sligo, July 2023 by Cían Flynn

ACTOR Una Ní Bhriain and musician Steve Wickham (The Waterboys) have composed a visual and aural treat in Clare Monnelly and Bob Kelly’s play, The Hare – touring this February and March to ten venues including the Belltable, Limerick on Thursday March 14.

Once Off Productions present their 2024 touring play, The Hare, by award-winning theatre-makers Clare Monnelly (Moon Boy, Charlie is a Clepto) and Bob Kelly (Breakfast On Pluto). This one-woman play (with live music) explores being out on the fringes in rural Ireland and how a young woman deals with her isolation by her friends – and which route will work for her sanity – the innate wildness within her or dealing head-on with the supposed civilised world that rejects her. 

The Hare premiered in 2023 at Cairde Arts Festival, Sligo as well as Cork Arts Theatre and Pavilion Theatre, Dun Laoghaire and was an instant hit with audiences and Once Off Productions are thrilled to bring this unique show back to the stage across Ireland. 

Audience members who saw the play last year upon its first outing, commented saying the play is ”a beautiful, staggering piece of writing” and that it is an “Outstanding” production.
