incite into living conditions in a country shaped by poverty and
superstition

spaces between these different points of view. This exhibition is influenced partially
by research carried out on Thurles town on some of its geographical structures.

John Colleary and Gary Cooke
stars of Irish Pictorial Weekly,
The Savage Eye and Aprés
Match unite for a unique
performance. Some people
think that Ireland has changed
for the better, not according to
Gary and John, who combine
stand up and sketches to point
out that we are forever stuck
in a wilderness of insanity.
Join the duo as they trawl the
Irish underbelly, revealing a
slew of deluded and dysfunctional headbangers along the
way. Ireland is a mad house,
laden with lunacy that swears
to be sane. A rich tapestry of
confusion, and all laid out on a
platter for the richly funny
comic pairing of John Colleary
and Gary Cooke. There will be
songs too.

This exhibition explores Frank Rafter’s recent artistic journey from painting, a
return to drawing and on into printmaking which is now his main
occupation.
Much of Frank’s drawing and print work is concerned with the concept of
binary opposites such as smoothness/rust; growth/decay; glitz/dereliction
(shopping centres) deriving from the idea of edge - a persistent obsession in
his thinking. The area of artist’s books unite his two great interests - art and

The Importance of
Being Wilde
ThEATrE
Friday
Time: 8pm
21 November Price: €18/15 conc./12 early bird
By Stephen Burns
A compelling and moving play about the life and
extraordinary career of Oscar Wilde, one of the
most flamboyant and brilliantly original Irishmen
of all time. Author of such classics as ‘The Importance of
Being Earnest’, ‘An Ideal Husband’, ‘The Picture of Dorian Gray’
and ‘De Profundis’, Wilde went from being a celebrated
literary icon to being vilified and imprisoned and dying a
broken man in exile. Featuring Stephen Burns and Matt
Murphy, this play takes audiences through the scintillating
peaks and appalling lows of this
unique life, and features extracts
from some of his most
celebrated works.

Checked Everything COMEDy

The forgotten Sugababe, the bad boy of Zumba,
David O’Doherty presents a new show of talking
and songs. Take a ride into the Davidzone. One
man. One small keyboard. With batteries. And a
chair. And a mic. And cables. And a sound system. And then
a room, obviously. With more chairs. And a lighting rig. It’s
surprising how much stuff is involved, actually.
