Fregoli Theatre Company are doing something kind of different. They went out onto the streets and asked people some questions about ‘Home’, what home meant to them. From the answers they received, they are now putting a play together entitled ‘Home’. Really cool idea.
Here’s a video of some of the answers, which was made by the ultra talented Jenny May Finn.

J.B. Priestly’s An Inspector Calls is making its way to Dublin’s Gaiety Theatre from February 13th to 18th. It’s a classic thriller and is coming directly from London’s West End where it has been running for four seasons. This production is directed by the Oscar nominated, Stephen Daldry, who directed The Hours, The Reader and the brilliant Billy Elliot.
What’s so special about this? This thriller has the honour of winning more awards than any other play in history, which is mental and tells the story of Inspector Goole dropping in on a dinner party at the Birling’s home, where he is investigating the death of a young lady. The story is told through ‘epic and wildly imaginative staging, raw emotion, evocative score, lashing rain and chilling suspense’. Tickets are from 17.50 and available from Ticketmaster or from the Gaiety.
To win two tickets for February 13th, leave a comment below and make sure you also like my Facebook Page. Competition closes January 30th at 5pm.
[Edit Congrats to DDurran who won the tickets this time round] (more…)
Faithless played their last gig in the Brixton Academy on April 8th. I wasn’t there, I was one of the people watching it via satellite in numerous cinemas across Europe.
Faithless have been the musical act that I consider ‘The one that got away’ I had never seen the band live and always wanted to. For some reason that never happened so I was going to have to settle for the next best thing. I was looking forward to this as I also had never seen a concert in cinema before so it was going to be a night of firsts.
I was a little surprised how empty Cineworld, Parnell St, Dublin was at 22.15, just fifteen minutes before the event was due to start. I also thought that seeing as it was a gig there might be some pumping tunes to keep us entertained before the show, we got a long orchestral version of, I think, the Star Trek theme.
Here’s where I wish I could split the experience into two. The Faithless experience and the cinema experience. Unfortunately the two are connected. (more…)
