They’ve finally found someplace big enough for Bono’s ego, so he’s spending most of the week in the 3 Arena! He should just about squeeze in there. Otherwise there’s the Lord of the Flies in the Bord Gais, Anna Bella Eema in the Project and From Eden in Theatre Upstairs.
If you’re stuck looking for the present for the Hipster that has everything, then we suggest… the Jameson Black Barrel Craft Market in the Bernard Shaw from Dublin 27-29 November. It looks an impressive craft fair with some great Irish producers. Not a bad week, all in all…
