glór is at the centre of the arts in Co. Clare but
we are also at the centre of the community and
we value everyone who shows, performs, reads,
creates or participates in any way in all that we
offer throughout the year. As always we aim to
ensure that our programme has something for
everyone.
We’ll be switching the Christmas lights on and
hanging baubles out of every corner to prepare
for our Christmas Treat for families on December
6th. Come and visit Santa, who has kindly taken
time out to visit us, have a hot chocolate in our
café and stay for the exquisite Little Light, then let
your hair down for our rocking winter sing along,
make a snowman and stay for our screening of
a favourite Christmas movie, the original 1947
version of Miracle on 34th Street starring the late,
great Maureen O’ Hara. December also brings
Ballet Ireland with Coppélia, Julie Feeney in
spectacular voice and The WhistleBlast Quartet
with The Nutcracker.
To kick off our wonderful winter season,
we’re offering an early bird booking
package on selected events where you
see this delightful birdy icon. If you book
that event on or before close of business
on Monday 18th January get a 10%
discount on your ticket…
Early Bird tickets are limited to the first
50 tickets for each of these events, so

people are also being initiated. These include The

residence and supported by Poetry Ireland and

third class visit the gallery each month, exploring
and responding to our visual arts programme.

CHAROLAIS
Wed 17 Feb 8pm | €18/€16 Conc.
Written and performed by Noni Stapleton
Directed by Bairbre Ní Chaoimh
Perfectly marbled and bashed about till tender: A surreal,
black comedy of love, longing and one woman’s intense
rivalry with a Charolais heifer. This is a muddy place of
simmering desire minced with a loneliness that cuts to
the bone. Rarely in Irish theatre are the challenges of
farming life and the joy of sex expressed so frankly or
with such charm. If you are fond of cows and dark humour
this is the show for you.
Winner of Bewley’s Little Gem Award at
Tiger Dublin Fringe.

laughter, loss and despair’

Wed 24 – Sat 27 Feb 8pm | €15
After fifty-two years of romping as a saloon waitress in
America, Cass comes home to Ireland. But the brother and
his family to whom she returns really have no need of her, and
ship her off to a rest haven for old dreamers. Nothing is as
Cass envisioned it and she begins living off past memories.
And though her memories now have a bitter taste, we know
that in time, and with the telling, they will be suffused with the
aura of pleasant dreams.
This production of The Loves of Cass Maguire will be all the
more poignant due to Friel’s recent death and also marks the
40th anniversary of the play’s debut in New York in 1965.

30 YEARS, ARTISTS, PLACES
From Mon 7 Dec – Thurs 21 Jan
Curated by Muireann Ni Chonaill,
Laois Arts Officer
One of the most significant exhibitions of
Irish artists in recent years will be launched
in glór this December ahead of an extensive
nationwide tour. The exhibition marks 30
years since Local Authorities embarked on
providing for the arts locally, featuring 30
artists and 30 places, (Clare being the first
county to appoint an arts officer in 1985).
This is a must see, not just for the
extraordinary line up of Irish artists who
rarely find themselves curated into one
room, but for the stories of how they each
came to be purchased, commissioned
or acquired by local authorities, therein
lies the real narrative; the quiet, genuine
and imaginative support for Irish artists
demonstrated by our local government
for the past 30 years. Featuring renowned
artists such as Tony O’Malley, Alice Maher,
Robert Ballagh, John Kindness, Norah
McGuiness, Sean McSweeney, Sean Lynch
and John Shinnors, Clare is represented by
a work by Theo McNab, purchased in 1983.
The exhibition will tour nationally well into
2017.

free spirit continues to inspire. Iris
portrays a singular woman whose
enthusiasm for fashion, art and people
are life’s sustenance and reminds us
that dressing, and indeed life, is nothing
but an experiment.
To celebrate this gorgeous film, glór
is encouraging you to wear your most
flamboyant fashion!

Sun 14 Feb 8pm
€20 including film, tapas
& a glass of prosecco
A British classic of such famous
status that it barely needs an introduction. Directed by
auteur David Lean and adapted by Noel Coward from his
own stage play, this is a poignant and beautifully crafted
love story. Laura Jesson accidentally meets a man, Dr. Alex
Harvey, at a railway station. As their acquaintance grows, so
does their love for each other despite both being married
with children. On the brink of an affair and desperately in
love, the two must make a choice that may part them forever.
Ticket price includes tapas and a glass of prosecco.
