About NAF Dance
Ham Sandwiches and Discipline is a production by NAF Dance, presented at Studio Two at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The show fuses the passionate world of the GAA — Ireland's national sports — with dance, disco and comedy. It takes audiences through the sights and sounds of Irish sporting culture: mammies screaming from the sideline, manic pundits, stadium crisp-eating and teenage club socials. Blending campiness and humour, the piece explores what growing up in Ireland can be like and how sport can shape a national identity. The show makes its UK premiere after a national and international festival tour, runs for 60 minutes, and is suitable for ages 5 and over.
Why see this show?
An infectiously joyous theatrical explosion that turns Irish sporting culture into something funny, warm and surprisingly moving — great for families, and a genuine treat for anyone who has ever stood on a sideline.
