https://linkin.bio/dublinfringefestival Dublin Fringe Festival is a curated, multi-disciplinary festival and year-round organisation focusing on new and innovative approaches to the arts. It supports the development and presentation of new work by Irish and International artists of vision, nurturing artistic ambition and excellence across a range of art forms. An active curator, the Festival provides an environment in which participating artists challenge, subvert and invigorate their disciplines and practice. Dublin Fringe Festival provides context for new work and demands audience engagement and dialogue. The scale and environment of the festival broadens arts participation, playing a vital role in the fabric of Dublin and Irish cultural life. For 16 days the festival transforms Dublin into an exposé of great creative talent from around the globe. It is a platform for the best new, emerging Irish arts companies and a showcase for the best contemporary theatre and dance shows touring internationally. For artists, the Fringe facilitates an opportunity to innovate, to cross disciplines and boundaries and to find new ways and places to create work. Dublin Fringe Festival, unlike many Fringes internationally, is a wholly curated festival seeking innovative and daring work that impacts, moves and invigorates its audience. Dublin Fringe Festival is core funded by the Arts Council / An Chomhairle Ealaíon, Dublin City Council and Fáilte Ireland. Registered charity number: 20037772

VENUE UPDATE: Ratling by Genevieve Hulme-Beaman

Due to an unavoidable venue issue, Ratling will now take place at Axis Ballymun.

As part of the move, some performance dates and times have also changed. If you are a ticket holder, our Box Office team will contact you directly with the updated details for your booking and the options available to you. We’re sorry for the disruption and thank you for your understanding.

The move also brings some good news: Ratling was previously sold out, but the larger capacity at Axis Ballymun means there are now tickets available across the run. And if Ratling wasn’t already on your list, consider this your sign.

𝘑𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘺 𝘬𝘦𝘦𝘱𝘴 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘪𝘮𝘮𝘢𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦, 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘪𝘥 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘥𝘪𝘦𝘵 𝘦𝘹𝘤𝘭𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘚𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘒. 𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘴 𝘪𝘵𝘴 𝘸𝘢𝘺 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘧𝘶𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥, 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘶𝘯𝘳𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘭.

Darkly hilarious, deliciously strange and wickedly funny, Ratling is a story about fear, desire and what happens when the life you’ve built starts to crack open.

So if you missed out when the show first sold out, this is your second chance. Move fast.

Updated performances:
Tue 8 Sep – 19:30
Wed 9 Sep – 20:00
Sat 12 Sep – 16:00 & 18:45
