Blackwater Valley Fit-Up Theatre Festival presents The Ballad of Mossy Flood
Event Date: 20th February 2025
Time and Location: From 8.pm at St George’s Arts and Heritage Centre Mitchelstown P67 XC61
Mossy Flood has a knack of going the long way around a story. In so doing, he makes us laugh and examine ourselves in a way we haven’t done before. He might be an unsociable odd-ball with a big thick head, but his wrestle with the everyday is pure gold. He will always land on his feet or at least somewhere near his feet... because he is Mossy Flood... and he’s from Longford. . ‘The Ballad of Mossy Flood’ might just save humanity from self-destruction.
Written, Directed & Performed by: Seamus O’Rourke
Age Suitability: 14+
Running Time: 60min

Paddy Cullivan's I Can't Believe It's Not Ireland
Event Date: 12th April 2025
Time and Location: From 8.pm at St George’s Arts and Heritage Centre Mitchelstown P67 XC61
Join Paddy on a hilariously insightful journey through the history of partition and the Ireland of the future...
Imagine this. It's 2032. The people have spoken on both sides of the border and Ireland is a brand new 32-county country. There's a new flag. A new anthem. There's even a new capital! As Unionists holiday in the south, discovering the imperial joys of 'Royal' Dublin - southerners discover the ancient landscape of Ulster beyond the retail outlets of Newry and Titanic Belfast. Magical things happen when you create a new country - where EVERYTHING is on the table - and it’s exciting.
Leave all your preconceptions at the door. It's not a United Ireland. It's not an 'agreed' Ireland. It's not 'shared' - nor is it 'new'. It's simply- 'I can't believe it's not Ireland'! But first...we have to get there….
Tickets are priced at €25 and available through usual outlets and on link:
