A Pair of Plugs
Just thought I'd remind local readers of the following (upcoming) dramatic/musical delights.
Tonight sees my chums in The Brad Pitt Light Orchestra lending very able support to the TomWaits-tastic Carnival Saloon. The venue is upstairs in Dolan's, and doors open at 9 p.m.
Next Friday sees the BPLO returning to Dolan's shores (the Warehouse this time) as part of the "Strange Brew Tour":
Strange Brew, one of Ireland's leading alternative clubs, which just celebrated its 200th night in Galway in the Roisin Dubh, returns to Dolan's tonight for a wonderful night of alternative music featuring The Brad Pitt Light Orchestra, Windings, Mirakhil Whip, Endfindead & Jung Turks, followed by a DJ set from Strange Brew resident Gugai, featuring indie beats, alternative rock & good vibrations from the past, the present & the not too distant future.
I'll be there shaking (and possibly wiggling) my thang both nights. It should be mighty fun (the music not the wiggling), so put on your thermals and stride forth to Dolan's.
Also appearing over the horizon is Impact Theatre's latest (highly ambitious) project. Good luck to all involved.
To mark Samuel Beckett's centenary, Impact are performing eight of his plays; two full-length shows, and six shorts.
The line-up is:
Happy Days (7-11th Nov)
Catastrophe, Come and Go, Play (14th-18th Nov)
Not I, Footfalls, Rockaby (21st-25th Nov)
Endgame (28th Nov-2nd Dec)
'Beckett's Women: A Season' shall see the performance of known (Happy Days, Endgame, Not I, Play) and less well-known (Come and Go, Catastrophe, Rockaby, Footfalls) works from a different perspective: these Beckett plays have been chosen specifically to illustrate how the author depicts women.
Speaking of this ambitious project, director Patrick Burke has this to say "Yes it is ambitious, and very demanding for everyone involved, but we're delighted to be doing something here in Limerick that hasn't been done anywhere else. This examination of Beckett's female characters hasn't been done in Ireland before. "
