“Aisling Ghéar, founded in 1997 in West Belfast, represents the most sustained, innovative, and progressive theatrical experiment in Irish in recent decades.”

Can’t pay! Won’t Pay! By Dario Fo– an Irish Language stage adaptation by Don McCamphill by Dario Fo

In their 20th Anniversary year, Aisling Ghéar present this new adaptation from award-winning writer Don McCamphill. Set in present day West Belfast, austerity drives two women to shoplifting! With the average family struggling to make ends meet while the top 1% salt away fortunes in offshore funds. This play has a natural fit with the times. Pair Dario Fo’s razor sharp wit with Belfast’s famous ‘black humour’, add a generous portion of ‘the strong women of Belfast’ wrap it all up in a comedy and you have the makings of a good night of theatre! In Irish with translation into English We’re delighted to welcome the support of The Foyle Foundation

Ní Thig Linn Íoc! Ní Iocfaidh Muid!

Ní Thig Linn Íoc! Ní Iocfaidh Muid! Cóiriú Ghaeilge le Don McCamphill ar dhráma Dario Fo

I mbliain seo a 20ú breithlá, tá Aisling Ghéar ar ais leis an chóiriú úrnua seo, suite in iarthar Bhéal Feirste sa lá inniu, leis an scríbhneoir ardiomrá, Don McCamphill. Feiceann muid mar a chuireann an déine ar bheirt bhan tabhairt faoin ghadaíocht siopa. Agus an gnáth-theaghlach ag streachailt leis an tsaol, bíonn an 1% is saibhre ag cur fortún i dtaisce go fáilí i gcistí thar lear. Tá an dráma seo iontach fóirsteanach do shaol ár linne. Greann géar Dario Fo, ‘greann dubh’ Bhéal Feirste, mná láidre Bhéal Feirste is fronsa den scoth – is ionann an cumasc sin agus oíche mhaith dhrámaíochta! Ábhar áthais dúinn fáilte a chur roimh urra nua chuig an chompántas
