Set in a pub in Cavan on a stormy St. Stephen’s night. A knock at the door presents an unexpected guest in the shape of the legendary Joe Dolan, who is stranded in the town when his car breaks down. As the storm bears down, the music and craic flows, and we get a hilarious insight into the happenings of a rural pub on the night a legend drops by.

Fresh from a recent sell-out run, this hilarious new play by Padraic McIntyre features live music and a host of local characters, who will have you rolling in the aisles. A real treat for all who enjoy a great night of theatre and music.

Love, sex, birth, death, dildos and salsa classes: Little Gem sees three generations of Dublin women on a wild and constantly surprising journey. Kay’s got an itch that Gem can’t scratch … Lorraine attacks a customer at work and her boss wants her to see a psychiatrist … Amber has fierce bad indigestion and the sambucas aren’t getting rid of it… Paul is just using Amber until he can get to Australia … and there's the hairy man who fancies Lorraine but fails to rise to the occasion.

With Andrew Synnott conducting Opera Theatre Company’s eight-piece chamber orchestra and with direction by Ingrid Craigie and Annilese Miskimmon, this compelling production marks the company’s very first visit to Roscommon Arts Centre.
