Mandy Nolan and singer/songwriter Áine Tyrrell.

A new year is here! It’s a time for women all over the region to pick up their brooms and set their witchy intentions for 2023. There is no finer time and place to do it than with your Country Witches, comedian Mandy Nolan and singer/songwriter Áine Tyrrell. 

Join The Country Witches Association when they bring their brightest and boldest meeting yet to Lismore.

The CWA is the satirical and inspired work of Nolan and Tyrrell who call in a supercharged gathering: from the rabble-rousers to the tree-hugging activists, the wild women, the wise women, the boundary breakers and the menopausal cranky pants. This is a show for women who feel unheard, who are angry, who want to see change. This is a show for women who are going to make trouble. This is the perfect show for Lismore!

The genre-blending collaboration that is the Country Witches Association was born out of a desire to tumble conversation, community and outrage together in one big creative cauldron. It was a desire to harness the mood of the moment with both tenderness and contempt. To say hard things, and outrageous things, and kind things, and stupid things, all in one show.

Times they are a-changing, and the witches… well, they’re rising!

Starcourt Theatre, Lismore.
