The Fourth of our Sound Stage series, The Mother Load. Three first-time mothers meet at an ante natal class. Together they must confront their expectations of pregnancy in this funny and moving play about unlikely friendship and the messy realities of parenthood.

Ballyturk is Enda Walsh's moving meditation on the brevity of our existence - a mundane village with echoes of Dylan Thomas's Llareggub in Under Milk Wood, viewed through a Truman Show style filter of confined artificiality. Explosions both literal and imagined, music and exhilarating physical comedy punctuate beautifully poetic renderings of life in the type of small town we have all visited, and, more likely, lived in. The result is exuberant, surreal, funny and gut-wrenchingly sad.

Tron Theatre Company is delighted that the centrepiece of the autumn season will be its staging of one of the most extraordinary, hilarious and surreal plays in modern theatre: Ballyturk by Enda Walsh. We are honoured to be given the opportunity to present the first British production of this contemporary masterpiece and it will be the final work in a small but significant Irish season this autumn at the Tron.

A heart-wrenching four-hander, young playwright Kaisa Lundan has penned a very personal play about a family afflicted by brain cancer. Emmy hasn't even reached the prime of her life when cancer ensures she never will. Whilst her husband attempts to care for her and her mother holds faith with internet voodoo and blueberry juice, Emmy knows that optimism is a false god. Hope of a future fades and even the memory of her marriage evaporates. In two interlocking timespans, All the Lights Are On sees how illness robs Emmy of her independence and identity whilst her nearest and dearest must comes to terms with the limits of their capacity to help.
