Some 2007 Productions At The Dublin Fringe
- Waiting for Ikea, one of the many Dublin Fringe’s sell-out shows of 2007, tells the tale of two best friends who use humour to rediscover their past as well as explore what possibilities the future holds. “Everyone loves to laugh, and the duo are a bang on the funny bone.” (The Irish Times)
- La Clique, a “cabaret mix of risqué song, acrobatics, contortion and burlesque comedy that included an orifice-based, knickers-dropping musical stint.” (Irish Mail Sept 07)
“Universally acclaimed and much-traveled...sure to reach a wide audience and, as such, does not make for a bad emissary for what the fringe is all about.” (Irish Examiner Sept 07) “La Clique, the worldwide-sell-out show, will be the highlight of this year’s Dublin Fringe Festival. Get ready to pimp your nights with this phenomenal show, coming to Ireland for the first time.” (In Dublin Magazine Sept 07)
- Particularly in the Heartland raises the question “Can we fall in love with America again?” “The ensemble exhibit great physical skill, imaginative use of props and improvisation in the various games played.” (Irish Theatre Magazine Online)
“A surreal, witty and politically provocative show...” (The Event Guide Sept 07)
- Incarnat was described by Dublin Fringe Festival Director Wolfgang Hoffman as “the most disturbingly moving reflection on human pain and suffering that I have ever seen.”
“One of the festivals trumpeted international shows that left an impression.” (Irish Examiner Sept 07)
- Kuddelmuddel, which took place inside the artist’s flat, gave a real-life setting and model of the clutter of an artist’s life.
“Tackles the themes of stress, therapy and growing up as a Baptist in 1970’s Ireland.” (Irish Mail Sept 07)
- The Convent brings its 2005 sexiest show award winning cast from ‘The Hospital’ back for this tale of three nuns and some controversial subject matter.
“Brilliant choreography and some sharp humour.” (The Event Guide Sept 07) “Stigmata, visions and frenzies, power and humiliation, sex and violence are not just intimated at but actually simulated for our delectation with gleeful physicality and theatrical finesse.” (Metro)

Famous quotes containing the words productions and/or fringe:
“It is well known, that the best productions of the best human intellects, are generally regarded by those intellects as mere immature freshman exercises, wholly worthless in themselves, except as initiatives for entering the great University of God after death.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“A lake is the landscape’s most beautiful and expressive feature. It is earth’s eye; looking into which the beholder measures the depth of his own nature. The fluviatile trees next the shore are the slender eyelashes which fringe it, and the wooded hills and cliffs around are its overhanging brows.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
