Willie Doherty at Kerlin Gallery.
Willie Doherty
LAPSE
31 May - 07 July 2012
from http://kerlin.ie/ "Although Willie Doherty shot all the images from LAPSE between 1985 and 1993 this is the first occasion that he has chosen to exhibit them. During this period the artist was producing his seminal body of large-scale black and white photo/text works, which announced his arrival on the international stage. The photographs in LAPSE relate directly to the early black and white works era. However, Doherty has not attempted to embed text within these images, instead their titles acknowledge Doherty’s particular historical use of text."

A new comedy about the strolling player from Donegal who survived a murder charge to become a giant of the london stage.
It is February 1941. London is being ravaged by the Blitz.In the basement of the BBC, a radio play is about to be broadcast to celebrate the life of the legendary 18th Century actor, Charles Macklin, who rose from humble origins in Donegal to a triumphant career on the London stage. Quarrelsome and hot-tempered, Macklin was dogged by controversy, including an infamous backstage killing.Valentine’s Day, 1941, marks the bicentenary of Macklin’s greatest success - his debut as Shylock in the “Merchant of Venice” . His performance was the sensation of the age and thrilled and terrified Royalty and commoners alike. “ This was the Jew that Shakespeare drew “ declared Alexander Pope, and for fifty years Macklin made the role his own.On this Anniversary night, despite the air raid warnings, the show must go on.

47 ROSES: A Lunchtime with Peter Sheridan.
Bewleys Cafe Theatre
"Peter Sheridan conjures up the voices, sights and songs of his 1960’s childhood in Dublin, in a powerful coming-of-age story, peopled with deliciously eccentric characters and wonderfully bizarre incidents.
By turns, brilliantly funny and intensely moving, this remarkable performance packs a considerable punch – a cultural gem."
This play/monologue by Peter Sheridan is worth the visit- I thoroughly enjoyed it.
