Martha
Martha lives alone in a hut on the beach. She scares people away with her sharp tongue and signs warning them to OKeep Out'. But she doesn't bank on meeting a cheeky goose who doesn't understand ONo'! The battle that ensues is full of fun and leads to a friendship that re-kindles in Martha an
openness to those around her. Suitable for 4-7 years. 10 & 11.30am, tickets: €7. Booking tel: 051 855038. Garter Lane Arts Centre, O'Connell Street, Waterford.


November 12 to 20
Lord Of The Flies
OLord of the Flies' by William Golding is undoubtedly one of the greatest novels of the 20th Century. It tells the story of a group of schoolboys
stranded on an Island and their struggles for survival. They are animated by an important debate about power, democracy and the good and evil that is within men's hearts, but they are also, all too vividly, real boys of the kind you might find in any school today. The novel was adapted for the stage
by the playwright Nigel Williams. A Red Kettle Theatre Company production.8pm, tickets: €15. Booking tel: 051 871133. The Forum, The Glen,
Waterford.


November 18 to 20
The Love-Hungry Farmer
By John B Keane. Adapted by Des Keogh. The story of John Bosco McLane, a bachelor who at 56 is, according to his own assessment, Opast his best' and evidently still a virgin. McLane's amorous adventures range from the hilarious to the heart-breaking. He has tales of being led on and
humiliated, outraged and offended, duped and shamed. Even the strenuous efforts of matchmaker, Dicky Micky Dicky O'Connor fail him! 8pm, tickets: €20/18 (conc.), Friends of Garter Lane €16/14 (conc.). Booking tel: 051 855038. Garter Lane Arts Centre, O'Connell Street, Waterford.

November 22

step-mother to fall in love with Olwen. However, the problem for him is that he has never seen Olwen and nobody knows where she lives! 10am, tickets: €3. Booking tel: 051 855038. Garter Lane Arts Centre, O'Connell Street, Waterford.
