2026 Origin Theatre Gala Celebrating Enda Walsh

Mr and Mrs Twit are not very nice. In fact they&#39;re extremely nasty. They&#39;re nasty to each other, and they&#39;re vile to everyone else.&nbsp;They hold a family of monkeys hostage in a cage and force them to stand on their heads. ALL THE TIME. We told you they weren&#39;t very nice.&nbsp;Can the monkeys find a way to show those vicious Twits what for? Mischievously adapted from Roald Dahl&#39;s story, acclaimed playwright Enda Walsh has turned The Twits upside down. The Twits was first performed at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in April 2015.

No one celebrates Halloween quite like the Irish. For centuries, Samhain has marked the end of summer and the beginning of winter&mdash;a time of transition, when the veil between the living and the dead is believed to grow thin. As October draws to a close, the spirits come a-calling! Join Origin Theatre Company, in partnership with Irish American Writers &amp; Artists, for a delicious evening of traditional Irish ghost stories, music, and cocktails as we celebrate the ancient Irish traditions behind the spookiest night of the year.
