6:30pm TenderWRITE Readings
BOOK HERE
A programme of three short plays by young playwrights
To be TENDER, to show care, WRITE, to mark, on a surface, typically paper, with a pen, pencil or similar implement. This series of readings shine a light on new stories, fresh stories, the mark of exciting new playwrights, all aged 16 – 24. Work by and for young people. Work for everyone. This is a chance to experience the world, life, through the eyes of our youngest artists. Theirs is a post Catholic, multi-cultural Ireland, their world is equal parts online aether and terra firma, their lives fully complex. There is love & desire, anxiety & fear, and a great ability to laugh despite the fact that the world is heating up to a point of explosion. This programme features work by Aidan Kelly, Blaithín Seville, and David Rawle.
TenderWRITE is a young artist development programme in The Civic Theatre, Tallaght, as part of Tenderfoot, The Civic’s Apprentice Theatre Programme for young adults.

7:30pm Space Deli The Concert
BOOK HERE
Space Deli is a sci-fi romantic comedy that follows the highs and lows of the staff of a struggling deli counter…in space. It tells the story of a three-strong deli team struggling with their dead-end jobs, bad customers, love triangles, and a workplace on the brink of financial ruin. Can our space heroes save Space Deli from downfall?
Blasting off straight from a sold-out premiere as part of 2024’s Scene + Heard festival, we return to the stage with Space Deli: the Concert, a high-energy showcase of the show’s biggest musical moments. With a live 4-piece band, three vocalists, and a narrated storyline to guide you through the madness, this is your chance to experience the best of Space Deli exclusively for Culture Night. Expect rock-and-roll bangers, sharp comedy, cyborgs, aliens, and a lot of intergalactic deli drama.
If you’re looking for an evening that’s funny, heartfelt, and just a little bit weird, this concert is for you. Fans of musical theatre with a taste for the unconventional, lovers of sci-fi who don’t mind a little romance with their cyborgs, and anyone who’s ever had a terrible boss or a dead-end job.
