CREATIVITY HAS THE POWER TO CHANGE THE WORLD.

Unearthing the power of creativity.

It's the collective feeling of awe that an audience shares silently.


It's the feeling of community that workshop participants go home with. 


It's the sense of belonging, understanding and power that creativity brings to people young and old. 


We're here to celebrate that.

Theatre Making

The magic of liveness.

Wee Yarn Productions have been creating theatre for almost 10 years. Their production The Daughters of Róisín received critical acclaim across Ireland, the UK and Australia. They then were commisioned by Mid Ulster Council to produce Called Out, a piece that tackled the issue of Ending Violence Against Women and Girls. This piece has had huge success this year, where it was seen by 2000 young people in the Mid Ulster area for free. The work was praised by First Minister, Michelle O'Neill, as "vital and necessary to make change" and it has now received further funding to tour in the autumn. 


Wee Yarn Productions have also recently been commissioned to produce a new play in collaboration with Gambling With Lives and Chapter One, tackling the issue of gambling addiction, which will be staged in March 2027. 


As well as producing their own work, they work extensively supporting other companies with productions and are passionate about advocating for the need and power of live performance. 



The Daughters of Róisín

The Daughters of Róisín was written and performed by Aoibh Johnson and directed by Cahal Clarke. 


"Confined to a room for nine months in a house she once called her home. The Daughters of Róisín is a poignant ode to Ireland's hidden past that explores the church and state-sanctioned abuse against women over the last 100 years. 


Wee Yarn Productions invite you to witness and journey with this forsaken Daughter of Ireland."


This play toured for seven years globally, reaching as far as The Adelaide Fringe and earning Aoibh and Wee Yarn Productions a nomination for the Filipa Bragança award at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2024.
