Following the huge success of Diptych, Magpie Theatre Company are delighted
to announce their forthcoming production of Twenty4Seven. Twenty4Seven
is the second part of the triptych trilogy which is set in Ballymun.

with her parents and boyfriend, this is a raw unflinching exploration
of crime, domestic violence, addiction and imprisonment in one twenty-four
hour period. Each performance is followed by a workshop, facilitated
in partnership with Mountjoy Prison which explores the themes and issues
raised within the play.
Written by award winning and critically acclaimed playwright, Louise
Lowe, and directed by Stephanie Dunne (Passion Machine, Olympia Theatre,
Barbican Theatre London) Twenty4Seven is performed by a cast of already
renowned actors.
Since its inception in March 1996, Magpie theatre in education Company

of urban culture along with plays which are on the current school curriculum.
