And that's when the trouble begins...    Examining the thorny relationship between fertility and finances, this funny and insightful play written by Aoife O’Connor and directed by Katie O’Halloran charts a same-sex couple's journey to parenthood with humour and empathy.  From the playwright, Aoife O’Connor: Going through IVF with my wife revealed that Ireland’s hard-won marriage equality still doesn’t extend to queer parents or their children. That realisation—and the invisibility of this discrimination—compelled me to write this play in the hope of building momentum for change.   Set Design:  Mar Parés Baraldés    Lighting Design: Colm Maher    Sound Design: HK Ní Shioradáin     Stage Manager: Sarah Mooney    Graphic Design: Gavin Doyle Duration: 45 minutes Age Guidance: 14+   BOOKING INFORMATION February 2nd – 21st 2026 Mon-Sat at 1pm (doors open at 12.50pm) Tickets: Low-price Mon/Tues €10, Wed/Thurs €12, Fri/Sat €15.
