Our Work
Everything is Grand, and I’m Completely Okay
“It’s not hard to make Burke shine - he works the room like a comic maestro. His timing is exquisite, and his expressions are enough to double you up or stop you in your tracks.
You might well be seeing a star in the making.”
- The Arts Review.
Malachy has just turned 25, and he has a few things to say about that. Dealing with the death of his younger brother, he is struggling to come to terms with all that he is, and everything that he’s not.
Working as a customer support advisor in a call centre at a bin disposal company and experiencing many different escapades with his best friend Pauline, Malachy is eager to take some time to reflect and move on with his life. He quickly comes to realise, however, that it’s not as easy as it seems on paper.
A new play about growing up, and the lessons we learn along the way.
Written/performed by Conor Burke and directed by IFTA nominee Lesley Conroy. Featuring light and sound design by Aidan Cooney, and produced by Lisa Nally. Originally developed with the aid of Dublin Fringe Festival.
For his performance in the play at the 20th International Dublin Gay Theatre Festival, Conor was nominated for the Micheál Mac Liammóir Award for Outstanding Performance by a male actor in a play.
The Terms and Conditions of Me & My Ma
Ireland. 2023. Geraldine has lost her job and Luke has lost his prospects. A mother and son who are stuck at a dead end in their lives, they are desperate to find their way out of the ailing circumstances that they find themselves in.
With a parent stuck in the past, and a son only looking to the future, can a happy ending ever be reached? And at what cost?
Written by Conor Burke, and directed by Conor O’Connell, The Terms and Conditions of Me and My Ma explores parental relationships and the lengths we go to to make sure they don't fall apart.
The show opened at The Moat Theatre in March, 2023.
