Arthur Miller's Broken Glass


From April 4th- 'til the 8th Impact Theatre are staging the Irish premiere of Arthur Miller's celebrated Broken Glass. The play focuses on the psychological aftermath of Kristallnacht, (the night in 1938 in Nazi Germany when thousands of Jewish shops and synagogues were destroyed).

Music in Impact





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!
