Fred and Alice Performed by Call Back Theatre
2025-06-13 19:00 - 21:30 | ACM Shannon, Main St., Castleconnell, Limerick, Limerick, V94 RT61
A blistering head wreck played at a hilarious pace!
It’s not easy to get by in this crazy old world is it? But Fred and Alice have discovered that all you really need are 2 tennis rackets, disproportionate reactions to minor accidents, an immature coping strategy and each other.
Fred & Alice is a quirky love story about 2 amazing mischievous characters who meet in a home, fall in love, play rock concerts, move in together, have trouble adjusting, sort it out, all done in their own hilarious way.
It wasn’t really a home but Fred always called it a home because that was where he lived, and if you are not living at home then where are you? It was love at first sight for Alice. Fred didn’t talk to her again for years but then eventually Fred got used to her and it was love at first sight for him too.
From their days in care, to independent living, Fred and Alice negotiate the perils and pitfalls of life and love. Together they create a fantastical world which spills over into a madcap reality when they decide to move in together.
Come see this joyous celebration of individuality.
Fred and Alice is part of the Castleconnell Arts and Culture Festival hosted by ACM Community Development Society.

Let Get Going Get Rowing show you how to row on the water this summer! Our Limerick camps will be held at Shannon Rowing Club in Annacotty.
Rowing is a fantastic sport for so many reasons: It takes a totally different skill set than land-based sports, there’s a different team dynamic, you’re out in the fresh air and beautiful surroundings, and you can’t even learn it until you’re in your early teens. So you’ll be on the water with other total beginners, just like you!
These on-the-water rowing camps are designed to introduce young people to all aspects of the sport, both on the water and off. Our camp incorporates the innovative Olympic Values Education course developed by World Rowing and Youth Sports Trust International. And they’re tons of fun.
