Things to do in Dublin – 24th – 30th Sept
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 […]
Culture night preview
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 […]
Oh Fuck Moment – Filmbase – Review
So, what exactly is an “Oh Fuck moment” I hear you cry? Well, the best definition was given by one of the audience last night, when she described knocking a crystal vase […]
Mass – Powerscourt Theatre – Fringe Festival – Review
Having done little or no research on this event before I went to it, I was working under the presumption that they called the event Mass as it was on a […]

Sparkplug – Lir – Review
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 […]
Briefs – Meeting House Square – Review
Briefs are an impressive circus troop who are ‘a little bit butch with a whole lot of camp’! From humble beginnings in the back of a book store in Brisbane to touring […]

Solpadeine is my boyfriend is a one woman show, written and starring Stefanie Preissner. It deals with a young woman moving to Dublin, falling in and out of love and watching her […]
Elevator – Project Arts Centre – Review
Thisispopbaby’s new production ‘Elevator’ is a bright, fast production that dances the line between a pop concert and a Bret Easton Ellis novel. Six beautiful young things come to a secluded […]

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 […]
Kilkenny Arts Fever

Free Shakespeare – The Tempest – Iveagh Gardens
Judging on the Irish summer, I think the Tempest is quite a fitting production for Fortune’s Fool to put on. Last summer it was Romeo and Juliet, but this time out, it’s […]
Things to do in Dublin – 16th July to 22nd
Well, the Nobel prize winners have all left the country and our collective I.Q’s have dropped considerably! They will be missed. So, what’s new this week then? 1. Dark Knight Rises – […]
10 days in Dublin
This is a multi-discipline event, that starts on the 5th of July (Thursday) and runs for how long? Yep, you guessed it, the clue was in the title. No big names in […]

The Cork Midsummer Festival runs from the 21st of June to the 1st of July, and I have to tip my hat to the organisers for bringing together some top class music! […]
