A Night Out At: Double Bill At The Hope Street Theatre

Mikyla Jane Durkan covers a lot of ground in her one woman show Dirty Old Town. With only sketch-show esque props she is alone on the stage at Hope Street Theatre yet has her audience chuckling along with ease.

It is not just a voice for the people of Ireland North and South of the border but its incredibly apt for conflicts across the World and communities that have complex and difficult relationships with the Police Force.
