Smitten Review: The Munster Express

The following review was published in this week’s Munster Express and can also be found online here. Our thanks to Liam Murphy for his words and review of Smitten.
-
The Devious Theatre Company in Kilkenny have been earning themselves some welcome and very favourable attention for a young company doing edgy work like Cannibal - The [...]

Smitten - Gerry Moran Review

The following review was published in Gerry Moran’s column, in the Kilkenny People newspaper on August 27th 2008;
“On the topic of theatre and local talent, the Devious Theatre Company, whose production of Trainspotting in the Watergate Theatre I wrote about recently in this column, are up and at it again. They performed Smitten a two-act [...]

Talking Smitten On KCLR96FM

Earlier this evening I dropped into the KCLR 96FM studios in Kilkenny for a chat with Martin Bridgeman on the Culture Club (Arts Show) about Smitten, some of the public reaction and some of the company’s own reaction. Over the 6-7 minutes we chat about the show, the hype, getting to the production, what comes [...]

Smitten Night Two: Sold Out All Over Again

So the second night of Smitten has come and gone and once again we had to hang the ‘Sold Out’ signs out front (or at least our lovely makeshift and very Devious sold out signs).
The phone call came my way about 4pm again to indicate we were out of tickets for Thursday night, knowing that [...]

Smitten rehearses on

And on we go again. After Trainspotting it didn’t take us awfully long to get back into the rehearsal buzz on a new play. It was either the stupidest idea in the world or a real smart move to capitalise on the success of Trainspotting. Either way, we’ll find out when the curtain goes up [...]

All Over Bar The Shouting

Well, Trainspotting has come to a close. The aftershow party has rattled a few bodies right to the bone, we’ve been left reeling from some of the feedback heard so far and we’re gradually pieceing together our thoughts on the past week.
Speaking once more as a committee member, actor and having worked as producer on [...]

Due To Arrive: Rehearsals, Week 8

So we’re nearly there, a week off our arrival in the Watergate Theatre. Fucking hell, it’s been a quick two months.
All the posters have been completed. All 10 of the bastards. A serious amount of props and kudos must go out to our own Paddy Dunne for the serious hard work and graft he’s [...]

I’ve Got My Tickets, How About You?

Well, ok, I don’t have tickets for the show. The only reason being is that I’m actually in the show. But we’ve had a few questions recently via email as to how people can book tickets for the show. So in case you’ve missed the notes around the site and in the press that bookings [...]
