Ham Sandwiches and Discipline
Ham Sandwiches and Discipline
NAF Dance
Runtime: 55 mins | No interval
Ages: 6+
Witness the passionate drive of the GAA fused with dance, disco and comedy in Ham Sandwiches and Discipline.
From mammies’ sideline screaming, batty umpires, manic pundits, Tayto-eating in Croke Park and teenage club socials, we delve into what makes this sport a national tradition.
While injecting this hive of Irishness with campiness and humour we glimpse what growing up can be like in Ireland and what can shape an Irish identity.
Ham Sandwiches and Discipline is saturated with comedy, tragedy and poetic play in motion. From what was originally inspired by the iconic player and pundit Pat Spillane, the wackiness, passion and intensity come together in encapsulating the beautiful madness of the GAA. NAF Dance invites you to an exciting new dance piece that welcomes a whole new audience to the theatre.
With three nominations at the Dublin Fringe Awards 2024 it was made in association with the Mermaid Arts Centre and supported by Uillinn Arts Centre, Galway Dance and Dance Ireland. It had dazzled audiences across Ireland and beyond.
