SUMMARY:Forgotten
DESCRIPTION:The world falls into two groups – those who have seen Pat Kinevane and those who haven’t. If you fall into the later then you have no excuse not to see Forgotten. A unique collage of Kabuki dance and Irish storytelling\, Forgotten has been doing the rounds for over a decade but there is a reason why — Kinevane. His captivating portrayal of four elderly characters living in retirement homes around Ireland will live in your memory well beyond this moment.

These two young misfits soon forge a deep connection but\, when a series of mysterious killings plagues the neighbourhood\, their friendship is tested beyond all imaginable limits.

SUMMARY:Let the Right One In
DESCRIPTION:This marks a fascinating unconventional departure by the Abbey in their choice of ‘Christmas’ show. Let the Right One In is the Swedish romantic horror story between Oskar (Craig Connolly) and Eli (Katie Holan) which saw director Tomas Alfredson bring John Ajvide Lindqvist’s novel to a wider audience. It’s a tale of teen misfits\, bullying and sinister happening with some slasher gore. The set is a spartan stunningly spartan woodland\, the score by Ólafur Arnalds is sublime and the mostly young cast work well. It’s certainly a welcome contrast to the panto fare elsewhere even if it does lurch a little into the land of outlandish on occasion.

SUMMARY:Ulysses at the The Abbey
DESCRIPTION:James Joyce’s Ulysses has been adapted for the Abbey Theatre by poet and novelist Dermot Bolger. John Vaughan caught the show last week\, and his review can be read below.  \n\nAround this time last year\, Marina Carr adapted Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina for the stage\, giving it a slick\, colloquial slang with which to disarm and immerse a contemporary audience. Carr was not overshadowed by the Russian giant\, and neither is Dermot Bolger’s vision flattened by Joyce’s in his adaptation of Ulysses. The infamous\, sprawling novel covers just about everything\, big and small\, no stone unturned and scrutinized; and so it makes sense that everyone should be able to enjoy it. The novel’s reputation for being too difficult\, however\, has isolated readers\, and this is something Bolger has sought to fix. Bolger states that his ideal audience are those who have always wanted to read the book but have felt too daunted to approach it. That fear of exclusion dies the second you see the set: audience members are encouraged to sit at the tables onstage as if they were at the local pub knocking back pints with Stephen Dedalus\, and the stage is flanked by an audience on either side: a panorama to match Joyce’s hungry\, sweeping scope. Throughout the play\, interactions between audience and actor reaffirm the universal nature of Bloom’s story\, deleting any sense of inferiority. \n Molly Bloom is centre-stage\, lying in bed and rising into bursts of voracious monologue throughout the play. Rather than leave her glorious celebration of life till the end\, Bolger decides to hand her the reins: she kicks off the play by lying down to sleep beside her husband\, and what ensues is a dreamlike romp through Dublin\, punctured by her rockets of solipsism. While dealing with heavy subjects such as grief\, politics\, and sex\, Bolger’s play giddily skips into near-slapstick humour\, highlighting the comedy of Joyce’s novel in characters such as “Blazes Boylan\,” who reduces barmaids to quivering swoons and who strides to trombone toots like a cartoon villain. While the first half towers above the second in terms of outrageous comedy and pithy remarks (Stephen Dedalus bellows in lamenting tones\, “History is a nightmare from which I am trying to wake”)\, Molly Bloom’s ecstatic end to her monologue is like a jolt of electricity\, with all the force and drama of an aria sung from her comfort in bed. If nothing else\, Bolger manages to remind us that we are our own worlds\, capable of supreme joy if only we seize it.

SUMMARY:Wind Resistance
DESCRIPTION:Every autumn\, two and a half thousand pink-footed geese fly from Greenland to winter at Fala Flow\, a protected peatbog southeast of Edinburgh. From this windy plateau\, Karine Polwart surveys the surrounding landscape through history\, song\, bird-lore and personal memoir. Ideas of sanctuary\, maternity\, goose skeins\, Scottish football legend and medieval medicine all take flight\, in this compelling combination of story and song. \nWinner of the Best Music and Sound award at the Critics’ Awards for Theatre in Scotland\, and a 2016 sell-out hit at Edinburgh International Festival\, Karine Polwart’s enchanting and poetic one-woman show explores the hidden stories of motherhood through story-telling\, song and personal memoir. It is a life-affirming piece combining themes of nature\, maternity\, ancestry\, myth and history. With magical visuals and an exquisite live score\, Polwart creates an immersive sound with the purity of her singing voice..

SUMMARY:Hamnet
DESCRIPTION:“There’s a problem when you try to understand big things by looking at small things. You get lost.” So says Shakespeare to the ghost of his son Hamnet (not a typo) in Irish theatre company Dead Centre’s latest play\, now showing as part of Dublin Theatre Festival. The line comes about halfway through the work\, but it’s a key in to the bones of the play. The real-life Hamnet died age eleven\, while Shakespeare was away working. In Dead Centre’s Hamnet\, we meet a young boy in a limbo space\, waiting eternally for his father\, who he believes is ‘a great man\,’ to tell him all the things he doesn’t yet know – to teach him how to be (Hamlet). While he waits\, he consults Google as a sort of surrogate parent. Dead Centre’s Shakespeare’s fear of getting lost in the small things while trying to understand the big things speaks to the archetype of an artist who forgets about the world in their efforts to make art about it. The character is so caught up in the grand themes of life that he misses the point a bit. \nInevitably\, literary theorists and historians have tried to draw connections between Hamnet’s death and the bard’s most famous play Hamlet. Did this sudden tragedy impact Shakespeare’s writing\, adding depth and pathos and prompting the existential angst found in the famous speech “To be\, or not to be…”? Hamnet oscillates around the question of how to be in the world – whether ‘tis nobler in the mind to aspire to be a great man at the expense of personal relationships\, or to take arms against a sea of troubles and\, ya know\, be a Dad. \nThis production is a departure from the company’s earlier work\, the continuously successful Lippy and Chekhov’s First Play. Those were plays about the storytelling/theatrical endeavour itself: How best to tell stories? Why tell stories at all? Why keep telling stories in a theatre when there are so many other media out there? They’re art about the art. They were loud and bombastic with multiple actors and impressive special effects. Hamnet is quieter\, barer\, more focused. There are still the Dead Centre hallmarks of determinedly harnessing technology and using audience interaction\, but the frame and the focus are starker\, more personal-feeling\, with less room to hide for the performers (co-writer/director Bush Moukarzel himself and thirteen-year- old Ollie West). \nOllie holds the stage single-handedly for much of the performance\, remarkably natural and seemingly at ease. It’s quite a feat for a young and untrained actor\, and a risk for the company to use a child performer. The use of split-second- timed video projection and sound (masterfully executed by video designer José Miguel Jiménez and sound designer Kevin Gleeson)\, piles risk on risk. There are many elements to attend to – both Ollie and Bush have to be in the exact right place at the exact right time on stage or the entire conceit of their communicating across the boundary of parallel worlds will fall apart. The script is immovable in this context and its rigidity tells against the performance at times. Some of the interactions between Shakespeare and Hamnet (like when he slaps the child in the face and calls him a little shit) read like stock scenes from a family drama. When Shakespeare strips down to his birthday suit\, while reciting the lines: “Because you are gone\, I no longer exist. Your father is not your father. I was only acting like your father. It’s a role I am not suited for. The part does not exist. You are alone\,” the gesture of disrobing blows the sentiment out of the water a bit. \nBut there is sincerity and a kind of unabashed innocence here that is redeeming\, helped not least by what Ollie brings to the role as a child simply engaging with a father-figure\, oblivious to the existentially-angsty themes of Hamlet. Dead Centre’s strength as a company is tackling intellectually complex yet universal topics with colloquial aplomb\, framed by technological innovation. In this\, Hamnet succeeds as a work that is multilayered in its structure and heartfelt in its intent. \nRachel Donnelly

SUMMARY:End Of.
DESCRIPTION:A site-specific comedy at the Gutter Bookshop Temple Bar\, End Of. is a trippy take on the apocalypse featuring illusions by award winning magician Davey McAuley and direction by acclaimed director Conor Hanratty. \nBest friends Siobhán and Drew know what to expect from a day’s work in the bookshop: difficult customers\, poor pay and bad prospects. But when a box arrives containing a bewildering object—causing books to levitate and shelves to disappear—they are plunged into a mystery that makes them\nquestion not just their friendship\, but the very fate of the World. A treat for anyone who loves to wonder “how did they do that?” End Of. is a thought provoking comedy about the very beginning of the very end of the world. \nThe first draft of End Of. was completed on the 9th of November\, 2016\, the day Donald Trump became President Elect of the United States. Some thought Trump’s election signalled the apocalypse\, some celebrated it in\nthe streets and some simply wondered “how did this happen?” End Of. is a play that offers a theory on “how”: a study of how disagreement becomes disdain\, End Of. is the story of how the end of a relationship\, a society and the world might be one and the same. \n

SUMMARY:DFF: Back Jam
DESCRIPTION:The Dublin Fringe is in full swing and the city is bustling with unique events and performances of all stripes. With so much going on – it can be hard to single out any one particular show. That said\, it always pays to take note of anything bearing the Fried Plantains Collective name. \n  \nBlack Jam is Fried Plantain’s  night celebrating the experiences of and art produced by disparate members of the Afro diaspora. Big Joanie is jetting over from London and bringing some black feminist sistah punk with her. Then it’s time for some grunge meets soul by way of punk and psychedelia as Sabatta take to the stage. Completing the line-up\, we’ve got Dublin’s best Afro-trad band Rhythm Africana and a performance from Côte d’Ivoire’s premier freestyle rapper\, MAI. \n  \nEclecticism in the extreme and all in service of providing a platform for voices all too often overlooked – this isn’t a show to be missed.

SUMMARY:Fringe Review: Normal
DESCRIPTION:A young woman\, Helen\, sits and roughly massages her forehead\, surrounded by toppled tables and vivid\, mute balloons. She has thrown a birthday party for her boyfriend\, Gary (who never appears) and it has gone horribly awry. Enter Phil\, Gary’s mother\, and her scowl is enough to inform us that she is not Helen’s biggest fan. They move around the room\, circling each other like predators\, both equally convinced that the other is the threat to Gary’s wellbeing. Another important fact: Gary has autism. \n Produced by the We Get High On This collective\, Normal is a play not about autism\, but about the way we as a society treat those who are somewhere on the autism spectrum. Through the tense dialogue between the two women\, their behaviour is dissected and scrutinised: motherly instincts become smothering; intimacy becomes a point of anxiety. Hearing them speak about Gary is difficult\, sometimes infuriating\, but our own complicity is never left unchecked: viewers are encouraged to sit at tables onstage. \n While Gary is a hot topic with the characters\, so much more is explored in this short play. It draws us in with its unassuming set and reticent characters\, slowly revealing its depth and reach.

SUMMARY:Fringe Review: Polar Night
DESCRIPTION:Polar Night begins not with a shiver\, but with an eerie dream sequence projected onto the back of the stage\, accompanied by noisy\, ice-shard music. Photographer Aaron Stapleton provides these surreal and solemn visuals; whether they are dreams or visions is hard to say\, but their ominousness is unmistakeable. The shapes that fly up are liquid\, uncertain copycats of humans\, perhaps a visual cue for the play’s premise: being human means being ugly\, flawed\, and mercurial.  \n The story is of a daughter seeking out her estranged mother who has left her family for a man called Ove\, who has taken her to live with him in the Arctic. The mother’s sickness is quickly revealed\, adding tension to attempts at familial cohesiveness. What is forced\, and what is natural? How can these roles be reassumed after so much time has passed\, and to what end? \n Coldness\, darkness\, sleeplessness and shuffling feet make up a lot of conversation\, although there are some moments of back-and-forth that snowball into something stinging\, with writer Nadine Flynn calling it a draw just in time before it tips into melodrama. The play is most powerful during these moments of domestic and psychological tension\, even the most benign of instances: making tea\, for example\, bubbles up into a power struggle\, or the unsettling power of raised voices in small\, quiet spaces. \n\nWords: John Vaughan.

SUMMARY:Everything Now
DESCRIPTION:Everything Now is a rollercoaster ride danced by an all-male\, ethnically diverse cast of renowned dancers – Kevin Coquelard (France/Ireland)\, Maurice Ivy (USA)\, Sebastiao Mpembele Kamalandua (Ireland/Angola) and Ryan O’Neill (Ireland). The dancers thrust us into a dynamic and vital physical exploration of how we respond to media and whether individuals can safeguard who they are when identity shifts\, is reshaped\, and shifts again in a time when nationhood is transformable\, languages meld\, and the news is incessant. \n  \nEverything Now combines the formality and rigour of highly disciplined dance with elements of a 1960s happening to explore the pervasive\, potentially damaging influences of Western society\, of being consumed and consuming\, while recognising that joy is still to be found. \n  \nThe piece is accompanied by powerful new music composed by Brian Hogan\, bass player and co-writer/arranger with Kila\, and leader of Preacher’s Son; and the support of a laughing/shouting/silent multicultural chorus.

SUMMARY:Gladys and the Gutter Stars
DESCRIPTION:Gladys and The Gutter Stars aims to explore\, mock and ultimately celebrate what it means to create and what it means to fail. Part gig\, part interview\, the production features newly written songs and lyrics by Cameron Macaulay and Rachel Gleeson. You can watch a clip of the performance here\, to get a taste of what’s in store. \nAn intimate interview and performance from one of the most overlooked fictional bands of 2017: Gladys and The Gutter Stars. They’ll discuss the making of their self-titled debut album\, and all the triumphs (and tribulations) involved in the process. In a strange turn of events\, Gladys\, the group’s enigmatic front-woman\, has not been heard from in the six months following the album’s release. Rumours abound. Some say she is now a snorkeling instructor in Palau. Others say that she is simply down in Cork. \nPerhaps the two remaining Gutter Stars might shed some light on the mystery. Or perhaps deepen it. Get your tickets for the event here.

SUMMARY:The Museum of Modern Comedy in Art - A Proposal
DESCRIPTION:The Project Arts Centre will be showcasing their first exhibition from their new Curator\, Lívia Páldi\, opening on Thursday 31 August between 5.30-7.30pm. \nThe Museum of Modern Comedy in Art (MoMCo) – A Proposal is either an artwork in the guise of a speculative museum or a museum dressed up as a contemporary installation. Which of the above it will be\, is yet to be seen. \nMoMCo is dedicated to highlighting\, researching and mediating the hidden\, comedic aspects of modern and contemporary art. The classical notion of reckless\, avant-garde bravado has been largely debunked\, not least for its implicit sexism and open Eurocentrism. But the underlying comedic mechanisms deserve re-examination. \nFor this first exhibition\, MoMCo is presented in the form of a tentative historical chart and a series of clay figurines depicting key-moments in bona fide art history. MoMCo is also proud to present Resuscitations\, its first temporary exhibition of contemporary art\, comprising video works by Agnieszka Polska (PL)\, Roee Rosen (IL)\, Sally O’Reilly (UK)\, Gernot Wieland (D)\, and Olav Westphalen (D/US). \n  \nOlav Westphalen is a German-American artist whose work frequently takes the form of games\, entertainment or cartoons. He exposes the cultural blind spots and hypocrisies of the social and cultural contexts he inhabits. He plays both sides of the high-low divide\, producing mass-media comedy and cartoons while showing in museums and galleries such as The Whitney Museum\, ICA London\, The Swiss Institute NY\, Moderna Museet\, Stockholm\, Brandenburgischer Kunstverein\, Museum Fridericianum. He lives and works in Stockholm. \n  \nThe Museum of Modern Comedy – A Proposal (MoMCo) runs at Project Arts Centre from 1 September to 21 October 2017.

SUMMARY:The Great Gatsby
DESCRIPTION:This is an all-immersive razzle-dazzle start to Selina Cartmell’s tenure at the Gate\, a theatre in which philandering and bacchanalia has always been a subject matter for many of its productions. F Scott Fitzgerald’s novel which Jay Gatsby “sprang from his Platonic conception of himself\,” only garnered acclaim after his death. Flouting the mores of society back in 1925\, The Great Gatsby was a truly modern publication. The staging of it in the Gate marks a modernisation in its own right. (until Sept 16)

SUMMARY:Crestfall
DESCRIPTION:By Mark O’Rowe\, the writer of the darkly comic 1999 hit play Howie the Rookie\, Crestfall (2003) charts similar underbelly lives in small towns. Marked by the Irish writer’s trademark style of muscular and direct dialogue\, Crestfall follows the intertwined fortunes of three damaged women. The director for this production\, Annabelle Comyn\, has worked closely with O’Rowe on its reworking\, and it will be interesting to see a new presentation of this sometimes controversial play and its depiction of female sexuality. \n2.30pm matinee\, 8pm main staging. \nRuns until August 12.

SUMMARY:The Water Orchard
DESCRIPTION:A new show from raucous\, Dublin-based theatre ensemble Collapsing Horse. An ageing matriarch presides over a crumbling estate that produces water of fine vintage; she won’t let the next generation fulfill their vision of bringing the place back from the brink of bankruptcy by turning the water orchard into a brunch garden. With shades of Chekhov’s The Cherry Orchard\, this serious comedy merges the ensemble’s usual brand of farce and slapstick with unsettling audio visual elements to push the boundaries of what humour can do. (until July 29) \nSee main feature here
