Sherlock Holmes. The last Act

Sherlock Holmes. The last Act. by David Stuart Davies with Roger Llewellyn. “I was totally spellbound by his performance in this masterpiece of theatre : it is faultless & of the highest pedigree. It comes not merely as very highly recommended. It should be compulsory viewing. - BBC Radio.

The World's Greatest Fictional Detective confronts the most complex case of all - his own Psyche. Fine wit, Broad Humour, High Drama - and a touch of Pathos ...'elementary' aspects of this original & entertaining solo play. It is 1916. Drawn from 2 year's Sussex retirement for the funeral of his friend, Dr. Watson, Holmes returns to Baker Street to resolve 'the last act' of his epic career. The play explores the mind of the real man, - not the thinking machine. An unexpectedly passionate and secretive man, with a cutting sense of humour. Stripping away the famous clinical façade, Holmes reveals fears & weaknesses, and the devastating consequences of the dramas of his formative years. The whole being 'deduced ' from the 'clues' in Conan Doyle's stories. Drama: 8pm.

TICKETS: €15 Concession: €12

Why Men Cheat!

Morwax Productions. Why Men Cheat. Dirty Rotten Cheats at the Belltable. Ever cheated? Ever been cheated on? Ever wondered what compels men to stray from their partners? If so, then a trip to the Belltable might answer some of your questions. “Why Men Cheat”, explores the whole area of male infidelity and shed some light on why men are compelled to wander.

Based on over one hundred interviews with cheaters and those they have cheated on, they were condensed into twelve separate stories that were adjusted and adapted by de Burca with names being changed to protect the guilty. Alternately tender and raucous, each story explores almost every facet of cheating. Some were sad and others were funny, bizarre and quite frankly something you could not make up in a million years But most of the stories are funny, mainly because men can be so wonderfully stupid. So if you want to get inside the minds of a lot of unfaithful men, go to ‘Why Men Cheat’ and it might bring you a little closer to understanding this most complex of species. Drama: 8pm.

The Green Mile

The Green Mile. Shootin’ Star Productions. Set on death row in a 1930's American prison. The story centres on prison guard Paul Edgecomb (Padraic Mc Donagh) whose sanity is sorely tested by watching men live and die everyday. He encounters a prisoner called John Coffey (6ft 9" Willie Moriarity), who’s under sentence of death for the rape and murder of two children. Coffey seems an unlikely murderer, he's afraid of the dark, cries in his sleep, and is simple minded. He also has the gift of healing. Edgecomb, as well as the other guards-the sympathetic brutus (Danny Mc Namara), and sadistic Percy (Tom Pyne), are in for a strange experience that involves intelligent mice, brutal executions, and the revelation about Coffey's innocence and his true identity. Drama: 8pm.
