The Humours of Bandon

The Humours of Bandon is a heart-felt, funny, coming of age story playing at Brisbane Powerhouse for a limited run, from Thursday May 23 to Saturday May 25.

Presented by Fishamble, an award-winning, internationally acclaimed Irish theatre company, this warm and witty play is a must-see for anyone who had a childhood passion that threatened to overwhelm their life. 

Meet Annie, a 16 year old Irish Dancer from Dublin, who takes us through the various successes and disappointments of her Irish Dancing life, on the eve of the Irish Open championship. We share her mind-numbing commitment and burning desire to win the Irish Open title. Will she win and, if so, in what way?

From the confines of every parochial hall in Ireland, Irish Dancing champions are churned out at a massive rate. Medals and cups build up in drawing rooms and Riverdance swells a national pride, but the public aren’t privy to the blood, sweat and tears that pave the way to the first place podium.

Written and performed by Margaret McAuliffe, a former competitive Irish Dancer, Humours of Bandon is a fascinating Irish dance show/coming of age tale that everyone can relate to.
