Artist Milia T. Maddock intended to create
compositions with abstract forms that convey
a mood. The paintings all differ and the
intention was to allow the viewer to explore and

metaphorically to our attempt to make sense of
our joys, fears, and sadness; to find equilibrium in
our life and in ourselves.

their 30th anniversary production with family
favourite ‘Jack and The Beanstalk’. Directed by
Waterford’s own Richie Hayes, this production is
full of up to date music and side splitting comedy
routines that will have the whole family rolling with
laughter in the aisles. With the panto dancers
under the direction of Erica Delaney-Hayes
and full live Panto Band with MD Wayne Brown,
Waterford Spraoi designed sets and stunning
lighting and costumes, it promises to continue the
quality tradition of Waterford’s longest running
family event of the year. All the familiar local
faces are back for another season of mayhem in
Theatre Royal.
