Dir: Denis Villeneuve · Canada/France 2010 · 130 mins
Charting the comeback of Dan Coyle Jr, a failed
amateur boxer from a long line of accomplished
fighters. Living in the twin shadows of his overbearing
father and his brother’s Olympic success, Dan lets
his training slip in favour of girls and booze. Then, an
incident with his father minutes before a crucial bout
splinters the family and exiles Dan from the ring. It’s
not until the birth of his own son years later that his
competitive fire is reignited, and he takes the first
tentative steps on his road to redemption.

a wonderfully poetic script and a passionate

a known history and a secret one. The secret
history, she explains, is what really happened
- what was going on inside - something that
regular history can never really know.

“it was like we were two children - two innocent children just ... playing”
Mrs C. wants a baby but not a Christmas tree. B wants a real hairdressers’ scissors
and a wife. D wants a snow globe and “a big head of dirty auld curls”. All of them want
their own place in the world. And if they can’t find it, they’ll create one of their own.
Join B and D in the care home where they are resident, and where Mrs C is a carer,
on their special - “very fecking special” - journey towards ha ppiness.

strokes and all delivered with Dylan’s
renowned, shambolic charm…
It’s simply Unmissable.

“Magnificently
stimulating and
thought-provoking
theatre in an equally
devastating setting.
Not to be missed ”
EMER O’KELLY, SUNDAY
INDEPENDENT
There’s something strange in the neighbourhood of
contemporary Denmark. Who are you going to call? That
is the question. In Pan Pan’s purgatorial presentation of
Shakespeare’s classic tragedy, you as the audience are
faced with a choice: who is to be, or not to be, Hamlet?
Actors compete to play the title role, but as we enter the
graveyard world of this icon of individualism, can anyone
escape playing the Dane? Aren’t we all the main part?
Highly innovative and visually breathtaking, this is an
audacious and irreverent riff on Hamlet that does not so
much update or deconstruct the play as it does explode it.
Winner of the 2010 Irish Times Theatre Awards for Best
Production and Best Design. Critics Choice as Best Show
at the 2010 Dublin Theatre Festival.
Enchanting and evocative, Mozart’s final operatic
masterpiece The Magic Flute, is a lyrical love story, set
against an atmospheric backdrop of fantasy and mischief.
The Queen of the Night is determined to use her only daughter Pamina as a
pawn in the continuing war with her estranged husband, Sarastro. She recruits
Tamino, a prince and Papageno, a bird-catcher to steal her daughter away from
her father. Will Tamino survive his dangerous quest? Will Papageno find the
woman of his dreams? Will love prevail over hate? Mozart’s most popular opera
is for all ages and opera aficionados and newcomers alike.
Sung in English and directed by Annilese Miskimmon, design is by Nicky Shaw
with lighting design by Sinead McKenna. Opera Theatre Company’s chamber
ensemble performs the captivating score with music direction by Brenda Hurley.

OUT OF

Devised and Performed by
COLIN DUNNE
Directed by
SINEAD RUSHE
A leading figure in the world of traditional Irish
dance, Colin has made the cross over into
contemporary dance and theatre. A multiple
World Irish Dance champion in his teens, he
was the lead male dancer in Riverdance from
1995 to 1998, but in recent years he has been
forging a new creative path. In 2007 he was
nominated for a UK National Dance Award for
performances at The Barbican.
Out of Time, his first solo show, seamlessly
integrates movement, text, film and sound
design with the Irish step dance tradition to
offer a contemporary perspective. Dunne’s
percussive footwork is digitally processed live,
then looped, remixed and layered to create a
hauntingly evocative soundscore. Visually he
is joined onstage by projected archival images
of dancers from the 1930s onwards - including
himself as a ten year old boy.

AN EVENING WITH
RED HURLEY
Red Hurley’s legion of loyal fans will get a

voice as he performs some of his greatest
hits as well as classic tracks from his latest
album How Great Thou Art, which he recorded
with various choirs in Ireland, Africa and
the US over the last year. Red has spent an
impressive total of 140 weeks on the Irish
charts and continues to be a prolific hit
maker in his native Ireland.
Tues 20 December 8pm
Tickets €30*
A ticket for each of the following
four shows:
ALADDIN
Renmore’s 33rd annual pantomime is a new hilarious
version of Aladdin, specially scripted by Panto Dame
Peter Kennedy who also plays ‘Widow Twankey’.
Well known Galway performers sparkle to life in
this traditional tale of comical confusion, romantic
interludes and of course the evil Abanazar. Enjoy the
magical world of a flying carpet, a Genie popping out
of a rusty lamp and a Royal Palace exploding.
Spectacular dancing, upbeat music and the delightful
little Renmore Smurfs all add to this feast of family
entertainment directed by Brian and Seán Power.
