Esker Arts hosted Fishamble's Heaven on Friday 14th March & Saturday 15th March 2025.

Written by Offaly native and Esker Arts board member Eugene O'Brien, Heaven is set in the Irish midlands, during the weekend of a local wedding. Mairead and Mal are struggling to keep their marriage together. Perhaps attending a wedding will help, or it might raise questions that are difficult to answer. 

The play starred well known actors Andrew Bennett and Janet Moran. While at Esker Arts, the Fishamble crew celebrated the 100th performance. Esker Arts was delighted to have both the writer Eugene O'Brien and former Taoiseach Brian Cowen in attendance. Check out the image gallery below.
