Going Theatrical

Featuring music from the likes of Dusty Springfield, Chaka Kahn, Weezer, Bell X1, The White Stripes, The Cure and more, ‘Heart Shaped Vinyl’ is a comedy about five unrelated couples through the 60s,70s,80s,90s and present day, looking at how music impacts their lives and changes their relationships. From showbands to punk to the arty eighties to the Tuborg drinking youth of today, the show is an original production and runs for three nights only.

Tickets are already flying out the door and are priced at €10 each. If you want to get yourself along, check out http://www.devioustheatre.com or http://myspace.com/devioustheatre.
