Mary Coughlan is arguably one of Ireland’s greatest female jazz and
blues singers, a true artist who has carved out a timeless and highly
regarded career and a legion of devoted fans worldwide. Described
as “Ireland’s Billie Holiday’ Mary has overcome childhood trauma,
alcoholism & drug addiction to become a musical force like no
other. Her seminal first album Tired and Emotional rocketed her to
overnight fame in 1985, and fifteen albums later, her ability to deeply
connect with both the song & her audience remains undiminished, a
testament to her inner strength and to the power of transformation
& redemption. Mary live is in a league of her own, her glorious husky
voice pulling every ounce of emotion from the music.

Getting to noh from ‘page to stage’ ‘Noh’ is classical Japanese
theatre which combines dance, drama, music, poetic text, exquisite
costumes and masks into a highly aesthetic form of art that has
been performed continuously for 650 years.
This performance demonstration talk is designed to introduce
audiences to the key elements of noh and to have a close up and
interactive xperience of how a new noh is developed from ‘page to
stage’. The focus of the new noh, Between the Stones, is ‘from tragic
loss to peace’. It explores how the burden of grief turns into an
understanding and celebration of life, death, beauty and love; and
the transformative power of gardens to nurture and heal the soul…
It also uniquely brings together three Japanese cultural forms – noh,
karesansui gardens and furin (wind chimes).
The professional noh actor, Kinue Oshima, the composer, Richard
Emmert, and the author of this new two-act English language noh
drama, Jannette Cheong, will share key aspects of how this new noh
will be transformed from the poetic text to the stage production
using traditional noh techniques.

Although not quite the traditional comedy we are familiar with, this

But change does not come easy. A miserable farmer has 6 months
to live and decides to leave his sizeable farm to his more miserable
best friend. The complications that arise from that decision creates
this unique comedy. Undoubtedly a very funny play and 2 expertly
acted out by all the cast. The play is written by Ballyconnell writer
John McManus and the “Acorn Players” are the only troupe to

The R&R makes a welcome return to The Mill Theatre this spring
with the hilarious farce comedy Don’t Dress For Dinner. Based on
the original French production of Pyjama Pour Six, Robin Hawdon
adapted the play for English-speaking audiences which opened on
The West End in 1991 playing to packed houses and critical acclaim.
During its original run, one reviewer for The Guardian put it “Hurtling
along at the speed of light, Marc Canoletti’s breathtaking farce is a
near faultless piece of theatrical invention. Within seconds we are
drawn into a delicious web of marital treachery which accelerates
with classic symmetry to an all-star denouement…”

Mountains to Sea dlr Book Festival invites you to join Rick O Shea
for an evening of what he does best, exploring three wonderful
novels with the authors themselves John Boyne, Kate Mosse and
Hannah Beckerman. John Boyne needs no introduction as one
of Ireland’s best known and loved novelists. Better known as a
journalist and reviewer, Hannah Beckerman has just published her
new novel called If Only I Could Tell You and Kate Mosse’s latest
book The Burning Chambers brings 16th century Languedoc to life
and is a tale of love and betrayal, mysteries and secrets; of war
and adventure, conspiracies and divided loyalties. The three are
quite different, and in this discussion, Rick will lead discussion
of all three novels, the lives within the books, the author’s own

The Salvage Shop, a drama about the fraught relationship of Sylvie
and his son Eddie has forgiveness and redemption at its core.
Sylvie is dying of cancer but still raging against the local brass band
committee and still holding a grudge against Eddie, who left the
band at a crucial time for its success.
Eddie, meantime, strives to nurse his father; control his daughter and
keep the family salvage business going. Struggling with regret and
guilt he comes up with a scheme involving Sylvie’s idol, Pavarotti.
This heartwarming play is permeated by snatches of powerful
operatic tunes and arias that give the work a mythic quality.
