Ok, the Fringe is over, and we’re sad to see it go. I enjoyed all the madness that it contains! Still, this week sees Arthur’s Day and the start of the Theatre […]
Saint – Project Arts Centre – Review
First off, this play is mostly in Irish! Strangely enough the fringe brochure doesn’t mention this. There is also a splattering of French, but the story is mostly told through imagery and […]

So, what to do on a night where the city is your oyster (well, some of it anyway), yes, that’s right, it’s Culture Night! Remember, do not feed the artists! I like […]

Sparkplug is a one man from Little John Nee, which finished last night in Lir. It’s an unusual mix of theatre and music, but I think the music wins out in the […]
White Rabbit, Red Rabbit – New Theatre – Review – 14-09-12
The first thing Natalie Radmall-Quirke says to us as she comes out onto the stage is ‘I know, sometimes I wish I was Stephen Rea also!’. A good start, always open with […]
Farm – Lir – Review
The programme said that the audience was to ‘Meet at Lir’ so I wasn’t sure where or what the piece would be (I brought a warm coat, just in case). It turned […]
All Hell Lay Beneath – Cassidys Pub – Review
I’ve never actually been in Cassidy’s pub before this, but it’s one of those old buildings on Westmoreland street that you rarely look up at. All those buildings are four or five […]

Dublin’s very own Fringe Festival opens this week (Thursday 6th Sept) and as ever, the programme is somewhat daunting. It’s a mass names and none of them household! Here’s a few tips […]
Much Ado about Nothing – Project Arts Centre – Cube – Review
This is a bright, fast paced production of one of Shakespeare’s finest comedy. The large ensemble cast of 16 actors on the tiny stage, vary in age from the very young to […]
What to do in Dublin – 13th to 19th August
I hope everyone got out to see Cracked Lights production of ‘The Tempest’ in Iveagh Gardens. It was our top tip from last week, and thankfully the weather was generally to Prospero […]

Free Shakespeare – The Tempest – Iveagh Gardens
