The Tiger has gone into hibernation with the end of the Tiger Dublin Fringe so we have a few weeks of calm and reflection, right?

Nope, it’s going to be bedlam out there with the start of the Theatre Festival. The Stanley Kubrick Season kicks off at the Lighthouse, and I’ve been looking forward to this one for a while. There’s also some good gigs with Alt-J, Yann Tiersen and more.
