A new week dawns, and Easter has now departed. The first thing of note is the Easter 1916 events on in O’Connell street today. There is a new theatre production by Anu, talks, screenings and more. Full details are here.
There’s a few new productions in the world of theatre, with previews of Hedda Gabler at the Abbey, Hamlet / A Midsummer Night’s Dream at Smock Alley and The Man in Two Pieces at Theatre Upstairs.
A slow week for gigs in Dublin, but there’s still Paul Simon and Sting, Sinead O’Connor, Roo Panes and Jenn Grant to keep you entertained.
