Things are starting to pick up to be honest! The theatres around Dublin are opening their doors with a good batch of new work. Live Music this week on the other hand, it’s not so good. Lee Fields is in town, and there’s also the Ones to Watch festival at Whelans.
There’s La Cage Aux Folles, Voice Factor [X], Hero, Half Light, From Eden and Danse Morob opening this week, which is a pretty impressive list to choose from!
First Fortnight continues this week and there’s also the end of the Dublin Bowie Festival.
The IMMA Collection Freud Project is a must see!
