Monday 7th – Saturday 12th November
The Green Fool

Upstage Theatre Company presents The Green Fool by Patrick Kavanagh. The Green Fool is a multi-layered drama based around the poet’s early autobiography and his later-life response to the book.

Sometime in the mid-1950’s, Patrick Kavanagh, now about 50, revisits the dusty London attic where he wrote his memoir almost twenty years earlier. Now older, wiser but more disillusioned and embittered, he has come to dismiss his first prose publication – despite its immense popularity – as a “stage-Irish lie, written to please the London audience”. Gorman’s play explores the tension between the idealistic and ambitious young writer and his older self, presenting enchanting, lively and often hilarious scenes of an Irish childhood as written down by the younger man, but building to a powerful and deeply moving exploration of the artist growing old, in conflict with himself and at odds with an indifferent society. Time: 8 p.m.

TICKETS: €18 Concession: €16. All tickets Mon 7th €10. BOOKING/INFO: Tel: +353 61 319866. Fax: +353 61 319866. Email: belltabl@iol.ie. Website: www.belltable.ie. VENUE: Belltable Arts Centre, 69 O'Connell St., Limerick.

The Diary of Adrian mole age 13 3/4 by Sue Townsend

Bruiser Theatre Company presents Sue Townsend's stage adaptation of her best selling book stays true to it's source, creating a play filled with music and warmth. This comic play covers the first of the Adrian Mole diaries in which the anti-hero adolescent and undiscovered poet and intellectual tries to deal with his parents' crumbling marriage, his spots, his school, his unrequited love for Pandora and the erratic behaviour of his dog. All this whilst trying to get his poetry accepted by the BBC! Adrian Mole faces the same agonies which life sets before most adolescents. The difference, though, between young Master Mole and his peers is that this lad keeps a diary - an earnest chronicle of longing and disaster that has convulsed readers for over 20 years. Time: 8 p.m.
