No Woman is an Island by Roisin Stack

What to Expect

Roisin Stack brings her one-woman show No Woman is an Island to the Bank of Ireland Theatre at University of Galway on Friday 21 and Saturday 22 August 2026, with performances running twice daily across the two dates. The piece is written and performed by Stack, so the whole show rests on a single performer holding the stage without a supporting cast.

The Bank of Ireland Theatre sits inside the Aras na Mac Leinn student building on the University of Galway campus, a short walk from the Quadrangle. It is a small studio-scale room used for student productions, fringe work and visiting solo shows during the summer, and its size means a solo piece plays close to the audience rather than at a distance. Twice-daily scheduling across two days is a fringe-style pattern, and it gives four chances to catch the run in a single weekend. The show was listed in the Galway Advertiser’s entertainment pages, which is the source used here. Exact performance times and ticket prices were not published, so confirm before travelling.

• Venue: Bank of Ireland Theatre, Aras na Mac Leinn, University of Galway

Getting There

University of Galway’s main campus is on University Road, about a fifteen-minute walk northwest of Eyre Square along Newcastle Road, or ten minutes from the Salmon Weir Bridge. Aras na Mac Leinn is signposted from the main Newcastle Road entrance and sits near the centre of campus. Campus visitor parking is pay and display and fills fast on weekdays, so drivers may find it easier to park in the city centre and walk. Galway city bus routes serving Newcastle Road and the University Hospital stop at the campus gates, and Galway Ceannt railway and bus station is around twenty minutes away on foot.
