Another great crop of Theatre this week, with Anu’s Pals in Collins Barracks, the Caretaker in the Gate and previews of A Mid Summers Night’s Dream at the Abbey. There’s also Rough Magic’s New play Everything Between Us at the Project. Theatre Upstairs return with The Swing and the Civic with Cornerstones. It’s all go.

How good is the live music scene in Dublin this week? Well, pretty damn tasty! With the Winged Victory for the Sullen, the Decemberists, This is how we fly, Interpol and even a free gig in Meeting House Square with Hamsandwich and Cathy Davey, you really couldn’t ask for much more.
