Tea Chests and Dreams - A Night of First Nights

A chance is offered to seven new writers to hear their words on stage as part of a new production by Dermot Bolger, in Dublin.

Staged by Axis in Ballymun the production will run for just seven nights in Ballymun and the Civic Theatre, Tallaght from Wednesday April 11, 2012.

Bolger's new play, Tea Chests and Dreams, is about what we do when the final box is unloaded from the removal van or taxi; about where our minds go as we unwrap cups, clocks and family heirlooms.

It is about how we begin again.

Dermot Bolger will capture the voices and experiences of thirteen women spanning three generations and five decades.

Between now and March 23 women of all ages are invited to submit to Axis Ballymun a six hundred word account of their recollections of their first night in a new home.

Each performance of Bolger's play will commence with a once-off public reading of one such text, either by the woman who wrote it, or, by an actress.

This means that each night of this play about first nights will truly be a first night, with a new voice heard on the Irish stage, a new story added to the celebratory mosaic that is Tea Chests and Dreams.

The best monologue will be published in a special new writing supplement in a leading national newspaper.

Scripts can be sent by e-mail

Or by post to Tea Chests and Dreams competition, Axis Art Centre, Main Street, Ballymun, Dublin 9 .
