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.

Seen primarily through the eyes of seventeen year old Lisa and her relationship 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.
