🟡 HEARTFELT & HILARIOUS THEATRE: Magic Pill Productions present No Magic Pill by Christian O’Reilly │ Tues 19 Nov, 8pm & Wed 20 Nov, 12pm

🏆 Audience Choice Award Winner! – Irish Times Theatre Awards 2022

"An evening of transformative theatre that compels as much as it entertains" Irish Independent // "Physically striking … gutsy and engaging" The Irish Times ★★★★

No Magic Pill is the irreverent story of an activist and a celebration of love, friendship and the enduring pursuit of freedom. From award-winning writer Christian O’Reilly (Unspeakable Conversations, Inside I’m Dancing) and directed by Raymond Keane, it's inspired by real-life activist and wheelchair-user, Martin Naughton, leader of the disability rights movement in Ireland. Martin is a man at war with the Government, with society, but, above all else, with himself – and at this crisis point in his life, which road will he choose? Will his fight for equality be derailed by dreams of lifelong love and distant shores?

🔵 THEATRE: Fishamble: The New Play Company present Outrage by Deirdre Kinahan │Friday 15 November 8:00pm

Told through the prism of two sisters OUTRAGE is a play that explores the true nature of women’s role in the Irish revolutionary wars and in particular the effect of Civil War on women’s mind, body and soul... Alice and Nell play key roles in arming revolutionaries, organising civic resistance and in particular the propaganda war. They are fervent, they are funny, they are human and they, like everyone else in Ireland become deeply conflicted as the country spins toward a shattering Civil clash that split the nation and continues to haunt Irish politics, society and culture to this day...

⭐️TONIGHT!⭐️🩷 🎬 FILM: La Chimera [IT/UK] │ Tues 29 Oct, 8pm 🍿🥤🍿

“Alice Rohrwacher’s new film is a beguiling fantasy-comedy of lost love: garrulous, uproarious and celebratory" The Guardian ★★★★★

Tuscany, the 1980s. Englishman Arthur (Josh O’Connor), recently released from prison, is drawn back towards the hometown of his former lover Beniamina. Beniamina is nowhere to be found – perhaps she’s even dead – but Arthur does manage to reconnect with the rest of her family. Adrift and living in a shack, Arthur makes a living through his almost supernatural sense for discovering long-lost Etruscan artefacts. He falls in with a group of grave-robbers and embarks on a series of increasingly risky thefts.

The new film from Alice Rohrwacher (Happy as Lazzaro) is a fresh, engrossing adventure film that’s simultaneously gritty and magical; sad and romantic; satisfying and unpredictable. It is simply a film to lose yourself in for two wonderful hours.
