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.

but prolific writer. Woolf tells stories about The Bloomsbury Group

The Playboy Of The Western World
During its premiere in 1907 when Christy Mahon, the protagonist of
J.M. Synge¹s The Playboy Of The Western World, arrives in a small
village on the coast of Mayo and seduces its inhabitant with his ³gallous²
tale of killing his father, The Playboy Of The Western World provoked
a riot among its opening night audience. In the intervening decades,
Synge has become a major figure in European theatre and his classic
play¹s interrogation of identity, gender, and nationality continues
to be provocative and urgent.
Throughout the course of its first one hundred years the Abbey Theatre
has performed The Playboy of the Western World both at home and abroad,
particularly in America. It has been a play that has received immense
national as well as international attention and is one of the Abbey¹s
signature plays deeply rooted in the theatre¹s legacy. It is
particularly appropriate that during its centenary year the Abbey
is embarking on both a national and an American tour of this signature
play. 8pm, tickets: f15/20/25/30 (+ f2 booking fee). Box Office: 4270022.

Proof
The Pulitzer Prize winning play by David Auburn. Proof is the story
of Catherine, a young woman who is troubled by her father¹s death.
A brilliant mathematician in his time, Catherine¹s father Robert
suffered a debilitating breakdown in his later years, giving rise
to that fine line between genius and madness. When a revolutionary
mathematical theory is discovered amongst the deceased¹s papers,
questions arise as to whether Catherine has inherited her father¹s
difficult balance between genius and madness. Is the mathematical
theory Catherine¹s own work of genius or is she simply deluded
and as susceptible to mental instability as her father was? 8pm, tickets:
f15/12. Box Office: 4501673. Everyman Palace Theatre, MacCurtain Street.
