Swimming with my Mother is a stage duet and embodies the relationship between a mother and son and their mutual love for swimming and dancing. In this intimate duet, shared pasts intertwine and build gently like a rising tide. Life stories are told with humour to the sultry tones of Nat King Cole.
"The companionship of mother and son seeped onto the stage in David Bolger’s wonderfully gentle, perfectly formed duet..."
Seona MacRéamoinn, Irish Theatre Magazine
Deep End Dance features a fully dressed man as he is pushed into a swimming pool by his mother. He brushes himself off and begins dancing underwater, always aware that she's watching. After a while she joins him, and they play out the story of their relationship through the underwater dance.
Swimming with my Mother played to sold-out houses in Dublin and Paris and was Winner of Best Production Award at the Limerick Unfringed 2011.
Deep End Dance was nominated for an Irish Film and Television Award in 2011 and won Best Short Film at the Boston Irish Film Festival.
