''[[Little Gem]]'' by Elaine Murphy

A popular play about three generations of Dublin women who narrate several months of emotional turmoil that they have experienced. In each of the women’s experience the disconnection they feel is in part sparked by an absent male partner, but in the end they share the care of Gem, the one woman's baby boy, and are brought together by this action.

First produced by Guna Nua at Dublin’s 2008 Fringe Festival, September 9–13 in Project Cube, before transferring to The Loose End Studio at the Civic Theatre, Tallaght. The play won the Fishamble New Writing Award in 2008 and was performed at the Edinburgh Festival in 2009, where it was awarded the prestigious Carol Tambor Award.

An Afrikaans translation and South African adaptation of Elaine Murphy's play, now entitled ''[[Janneman]]'', was done by [[Hennie van Greunen]] in 2011.

2011: Performed in [[Afrikaans]] as ''[[Janneman]]'' at the 2011 [[Woordfees]], with [[Sandra Prinsloo]], [[Franci Swanepoel]] and [[Hannah Borthwick]], directed by [[Hennie van Greunen]].

2012: Performed in [[Afrikaans]] as ''[[Janneman]]'' at the [[Artscape Arena]] in May
