Irish & Other Landscapes
Continuing the theme of documenting the landscape, internationally
renowned artist Goffried Helnwein will exhibit a number of large-scale
photo-realist canvases depicting Irish landscapes. Helnwein lives
for much of the year in Co. Tipperary and his paintings illustrate
the drama and the beauty of the countryside as well as revealing the
changing landscape of Ireland. Helnwein, (born in Vienna in 1948),
is a formidable artist and his work has often been proved controversial,
because they function as moral probes. He continually reveals emotive
issues within his work practice. Crawford Municipal Art Gallery, Emmet
Place.

Mrs Warren¹s Profession
By George Bernard Shaw. 'There are no secrets better kept than the
secrets everybody guesses'. Miss Vivie Warren is a modern, independent
young woman. But when her long-absent mother returns home with her
artistic friend Praed and business partner Crofts, Vivie is faced
with startling revelations about the source of her mother's wealth.
Shaw's play was promptly banned when first performed and is as relevant
and contentious today as it was a century ago. This innovative modern
production will entertain and stimulate audiences in equal measure
providing a rich source of debate long after the curtain has fallen.
