The Bruising of Clouds: A Dublin Love Story

Kelly thinks Martin is a strange but lovely youngfella. Deano thinks Martin is definitely not a youngfella, and that he should keep his paws off his girlfriend. Martin thinks bad karma is going to destroy everything around him, including Kelly, and maybe Deano... This new play tells the story of an unlikely couple falling into each other, falling over each other and trying to help each other back up. The Bruising of Clouds is a Dublin love story by Sean McLoughlin, also known as Sammy Gleeson. It was commissioned and first produced by Fishamble: The New Play Company, as part of the 2013 Dublin Theatre Festival. On tour to Axis, the Pavilion and the Civic Theatre. The Bruising of Clouds is Fishamble s third production of a play by Sean McLoughlin following the great success of Big Ole Piece of Cake(2010) and Noah and the Tower Flower (2007) which won The Irish Times Theatre Award for Best New Play and Stewart Parker Trust Award.

The Bruising of Clouds is Sean s third play for Fishamble. His first was Noah and the Tower Flower (Winner of Irish Times best New Play Award, 2007 and The Stewart Parker Trust Award) and Big Ole Piece of Cake (2010). Late last year, Sean was commissioned to write a play for The Abbey Theatre which he is currently doing. The piece he is writing is a two act play, and is called Want Beef?! Early this year, Sean re-worked his second play (Big Ole Piece of Cake) and renamed it Bo-bo Dread Eye.
