'Magnum Hopeless'.
Once again the Impact Theatre was transformed for Norma Lowney's set design. This time it became a bar set where fair-weather friends undermined each other, lovers betrayed their love, and mobile phones were stolen.
Misery extra dates : Tuesday 17th in Impact Theatre. Wednesday 18th and Thursday 19th in The University of Limerick
'Misery', based on the novel by Stephen King, with Ann Blake and Darren Maher.
Novelist Paul Sheldon finds himself at the mercy of his capricious number one fan, Annie Wilkes. As a writer, Paul occupies the position of God in the place where Annie likes to live: the world of his 'Misery' novels. As Paul's saviour, kidnapper, carer and captor: Annie begins to exercise ruthless control over both his life and his creation.
Interestingly, Stephen King has stated that he wrote most of the book by hand.

Limerick based musicians Windings and Vertigo Smyth will be bringing some top class music to Impact Theatre on March 23rd.
Vertigo Smyth, no stranger to Impact, provided live music during the Unfringed festival after Magnum Hopeless. Currently recording his unique brand of soulful tunes the velvet-voiced songsmith has also found time to be gigging and making radio appearances.
Windings is the solo project of one half of the explosive Giveamanakick - a.k.a. Stephen Ryan.. Armed with only a guitar, a voice, and a bunch of strange little effects pedals, Windings is a truly distinctive one man show.
A night not to be missed!
