‘sharp and very sophisticated…it is as witty as it is full of acuity’..’Moynihan has her finger on the zeitgeist’ Emer O’Kelly, Sunday Independent  

‘consummate skill’ The Reviews Hub

A riveting comedy drama delving into the relationship between two sisters, Bridget and Frances, who meet for the first time after their Mother’s death. Eternally at odds, they bicker as only sisters can over everything from the wine to the will!
Exploring the fallout of being left behind, loves and losses are examined and re-examined with acerbic wit and delicious put downs.
Can Bridget and Frances’ searching need for sisterly support help to mend their broken
relationships, not only with each other but with their loved ones, before it’s too late?

Manus will be performing in The Maker at the Southbank Centre London on

Saturday 30th and Sunday 31st May 2026

Enter a world full of visual surprises, physical comedy and strange magical experiments that teeter between brilliance and disaster.

Drexel, an idealist inventor and his quietly brilliant servant, Pipe, are trying to invent something extraordinary – from absolutely nothing. Will their experiments create disaster or a fantastic breakthrough?

Be whisked into the imaginative world of The Maker, with its eccentric physical comedy and visual surprises. The unexpected, the magical and the strange await for children and their grown-ups. 

From the team that created the world-touring hit show A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings and Barabbas Theatre Company co-founder Raymond Keane, comes this brilliantly playful new show inspired by Samuel Beckett, Jorge Luis Borges and Buster Keaton.

Created by Dan Colley, with Manus Halligan and Raymond Keane. Co-produced with the Riverbank Arts Centre and Mermaid Arts Centre. Originally funded by The Arts Council / An Chomhairle Ealaíon. International touring supported by Culture Ireland. Created as part of Dan Colley’s residency at Riverbank Arts Centre supported by Kildare County Council and The Arts Council.
