Synopsis
Woman and Scarecrow centres on a dying woman reflecting on her life as she confronts her imminent death. Lying in bed, she is joined by Scarecrow, a mysterious, spectral figure that embodies her unfulfilled dreams and the life she could have lived. Together, they delve into Woman's regrets, failed relationships, and her dissatisfaction with her loveless marriage.
The play intertwines reality with surreal elements as Woman's pain and fear of death are contrasted with her inner dialogues. The presence of real-world characters like her husband and Auntie Ah grounds the story, while Scarecrow pushes her to face her past and unresolved emotions. Carr’s play blends stark realism with haunting surreality, creating a powerful meditation on life, death, and the choices that define us.

Synopsis
On a windy dark March evening, in a small rural Irish bar, the normal routine of three local men is shaken up when an old-time friend, Finbar, enters the bar and introduces Valerie, an attractive woman from Dublin who has just moved into a nearby old house. As the night (and the amount of liquor) progresses, each local starts to tell a tale of ghostly happenings. What starts as innocent braggadocio between the men turns into stark reality when Valerie reveals a real, haunted tale of her own. Examining missed opportunity, loneliness, loss and the human need to be accepted and understood, The Weir is a haunting play with its roots in Irish folklore.

Synopsis
World renowned tenor Tito Merelli has signed on to play Othello at a Cleveland opera company in the fall of 1934. He arrives late and, through a set of crazy circumstances, passes out after mixing wine with a huge dose of tranquilizers. Believing that the divo is dead, the excitable opera manager taps his hapless assistant, an aspiring singer names Max, to suit up as the Moor and replace Merelli. Meanwhile, the tenor’s jealous wife, his ambitious female co-star, Max’s young girlfriend and the flirtatious head of the opera guild are on the scene fighting – sometimes literally – for the star’s attention.
