Whether you're a film enthusiast or simply looking for a cozy night out, join us for an unforgettable cinematic journey that will inspire, entertain, and spark meaningful conversations.
Our first film of 2025 is an Irish feature, Kathleen is Here. Kathleen (Hazel Doupe) is 18 and fresh out of foster care. She returns to her hometown to take ownership of her late mother’s house. Though she gets a job in the local shop and establishes a friendship of convenience with a co-worker, she soon realises that the emptiness of her life cannot be filled by social media and occasional boozy nights in the pub. But a chance encounter with Dee (Clare Dunne), a warm-hearted, happily married, young mother across the road, sends Kathleen on a destructive path of obsession and delusion.
In this impressive feature debut, featuring powerfully understated performances from both Doupe and Dunne, writer/director Eva Birthistle delivers a sensitive character study of a wounded young woman in this emphatically riveting tale.
Book your tickets below and join us on Thursday 16 January at 8pm for the first Film@BirrTheatre instalment of 2025.
