Flora & Fauna
- Glimpses of Other Places Paintings by Patrick Morrison. “Manifest
on his canvas is Patrick’s Eden. The pure husbandry of the fields,
the utter bliss of a woman naked next to a red guitar, the accordion
player serenading the couple welded bye the slow dance; the wet neon
of the city streets; the blaze of light on the garden; and the shadows,
too. As an artist of immense compassion, generosity and courage, Patrick
offers his love of life over and over again.” Sir Ben Kingsley.

The Cripple Of Inishmaan
By Martin McDonagh. Set on a remote island off the west coast of Ireland
in 1934, ‘The Cripple of Inishmaan’ is a strange comic
tale. As word arrives that a Hollywood director is coming to the neighbouring
island to film his documentary ‘Man of Aran’, no-one is
more excited than young Cripple Billy, if only to break away from
the bitter tedium of his daily life, whose chief occupation has been
gazing at cows and yearning for a girl who wants no part of him. Presented
by Open Door Theatre Co. 8pm, tickets: €12.50 (€10 conc),
Friends of Garter Lane €10. Garter Lane Arts Centre, O’Connell
Street, Waterford.
