Fourth Leaf Theatre Company

Fourth Leaf Theatre Company Formed by Ruth Lehane to make theatre that will engage, challenge and delight an audience in the belief that they are integral to the experience as a whole

A clown show has a purpose and that purpose is to express/reveal the clown. A clown script is structured to do that, but in the live moment on stage where there is no fourth wall, anything can happen making clown theatre a truly live and anarchic form. The company's first show The Lehane Trilogy…a theatre show in six parts premiered at Dublin Fringe Festival 2012 winning the Best Female Performer

award for Ruth Lehane. This show recently had a sold out tour at The Yeats Festival, Sligo in July

Their exciting new show RUTH 66, directed my Mikel Murfi & Antonio Gil Martinez, produced by Aisling O'Brien will be presented this September in Dublin...so WATCH THIS SPACE for more details coming up soon! Reviews for The Lehane Trilogy…a theatre show in six parts:

‘Each time an expectation develops, Ruth Lehane avoids it with relish, imperceptibly manipulating your feelings till the last minute’. - The Irish Times. Sept 2012. Four Stars.

‘Lehane somehow manages to channel all that is overtly hilarious and tragic about clowning and distill it into something so human that it highlights the perils that accompany the bleak uncertainty that has become so much a part of our society’s future’. - The Irish Theatre Magazine. Sept 2012

‘The trope of the sad clown is given a new twist in this brilliant show it is Irish and universal; bittersweet and knowing; funny and wise, and more than one audience member was overheard saying ‘that’s me!’ as we exited the venue. Go see; it will enrich your life’. - Entertainment.ie. Sept 2012
