“I want you to believe… to believe in things that you cannot.” – Mina Murray, Dracula 🦇 We are absolutely blown away 💫 @brambles.dff lit up this year’s @dublinfringefest - earning nominations for Best Performer, the Fishamble New Writing Award, and the Making It Happen Award. Beyond proud of our nominees @caramchristie , @aoife_cassidy_ and @_rubycollin , and of the entire Brambles team who brought this sharp, sensory story of sisters, family, and finding our way back to each other to life. 💜 Thank you, Dublin Fringe 💜 📸: Carol Cummins 🎭 BRAMBLES by Cara Christie

I can’t put into words how amazing the audiences were who came to Brambles. You laughed and cried with the characters that have lived in my head for years. The key to anything is to surround yourself with an amazing team that elevates you and your work to the next level. I couldn’t have done it without each and every one of them. We did it all with over 70 boxes, 12 days rehearsals and 6 performances over 4 days. It’s been a whirlwind. And none of it would have happened without the support of my husband, my family, @bee__sparks and the rest of the @dublinfringefest team. Thank you for believing in me and my first production. Here’s to many more! 📸 by @carolcumminsphoto

Second Teaser for BRAMBLES by Cara Christie A contemporary three-hander drama where Bram Stoker obsessed Claire crash-lands into her sister Holly’s carefully curated life, forcing them to open old wounds, question societal expectation and maybe, just maybe, reconnect with each other. Brambles is for anyone who’s ever felt too deeply, wanted too much, or been told to take up less space. It’s a tender, honest look at family and the stories that shape us Directed by Olivia Songer 🎟️ Tickets On Sale Now: Link in Bio 📍 The New Theatre @thenewtheatre ⏰ 10 - 13 September Sponsored by Avolon.
