First Fortnight Mental Health Art & Culture Festival 2023 (#FirstFortnight23), is the 12th edition of this annual festival which aims the end to stigma associated with mental ill health.
First Fortnight are thrilled to welcome SPLICED to its 2023 programme for two nights. On Saturday and Sunday January 7th and 8th, SPLICED will be staged in The National Handball & Croke Park Community Centre at Croke Park, the home of GAA. We understand SPLICED is the first event of this nature to be held in this new facility, and what a privilege for First Fortnight.
SPLICED has been referred to as “An explosive one-man show” and by The Scotsman; “Powerful piece of Theatre”. Timmy Creed plays hurling. He loves it, he hates it, but for better or worse, it’s a part of him. Written with sportspeople in mind, this one-man show, uses everything Timmy’s experienced within the GAA and what it has to offer to portray his struggle to become an individual outside of the sporting institution that raised him. Honest, brave, joyous, witty and hard-hitting, SPLICED is a love song to the GAA and is written by and stars Timmy Creed and directed by Gina Moxley.
First Fortnight would like to thank their partners, The Croke Park who are part of the family-owned Irish luxury hotel group The Doyle Collection, for offering our winner and a guest an overnight stay and breakfast on the evening they attend SPLICED.
