I’m nearing physical exhaustion, or a new disease I’m calling play-itis, as the Dublin Theatre Festival enters its final week (until the 11th of October). The death of Brian Friel makes the opening of (probably) his most famous play Dancing at Lughnasa a fitting tribute.
Otherwise, there’s a couple of gigs worth a mention, BC Camplight, the Lemonheads and a few others. Check out the full details below.
