What we’re about
Fancy a night out at the theatre and meeting new people? The intent of this group is to arrange meetups to go to an eclectic mix of theatre across Dublin a few times each month. Plan is to meet up for a drink and a chat before the shows.

Let's meet from 6.00pm to have meet and greet and a drink or two before the show - Prisoners of the OccupationSmock Alley Theatre, Dublin
As usual, kindly book your own tickets here
A powerful testament to resilience under the occupation.
This powerful and thought-provoking piece of political theatre was written by Einat Weizman, an Israeli Jewish citizen, in conjunction with two Palestinian political prisoners. It shines light on the plight of Palestinian prisoners, the most hidden victims of the Israeli occupation, focusing on the personal and collective experiences of the prisoners and their families.
The play is the result of a long research process of interviewing and hearing testimonies from prisoners and ex-prisoners, who are actively involved at every stage of the creation of this show. The prison experiences uncovered include interrogations, hunger strikes, solitary confinement and family visits, as well as diving into the prisoners’ consciousness.
The play reveals a harrowing and brutal reality but also an account of human endurance and solidarity.
10% of all ticket sales will go to Addameer, the Prisoner Support and Human Rights Association.
Warnings: This production contains scenes depicting violence, torture, oppression, sexual violence, and the psychological impact of incarceration. Some moments may be intensely emotional and triggering for audiences. Audience discretion advised.
WRITTEN BY Einat Weizman, with Palestinian political prisoners

Comhlámh Justice for Palestine is a voluntary group dedicated to achieving justice for the Palestinian people and taking a stand against Israel’s brutal apartheid, colonisation and occupation. Our mission is to raise awareness and take action on the past and ongoing injustices faced by Palestinians. Israel’s brutal ongoing occupation is not only discriminatory but a system of settler colonialism, ethnic cleansing and apartheid.. These grave human rights abuses and crimes against humanity mean each of us has a role to play in collectively saying “Never Again.”As a group, we try to support direct action in a number of ways such as raising awareness through free public events, participating in and organising protests/demonstrations, collaborating with other solidarity groups and advocating for Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS).
