Léirmheas Missing Link. Read the review @

Is scannán beochana é Missing Link agus tá sé lán de ghreann agus aicsean. Stiúir Chris Butler an scannán seo agus tá na haisteoirí Hugh Jackman, Zach Galifianakis, Stephen Fry, Timothy Olyphant agus Zoe Saldana le cloisteáil sa scannán.

Ba mhaith le Sir Lionel Frost bheith ina bhall den chlub d’eachtránaí i Londain. Bheadh cead aige bheith sa chlub sin má fhaigheann sé Sasquatch i Meiriceá. Ach…

As You Like It” ,

Wed, Apr 17th @ 7pm.

        “As You Like It” is one of Shakespeare’s happiest comedies. It’s among the most popular and most often staged of all his plays, along with “Hamlet”, “Twelfth Night” and “A Midsummer’s Night’s Dream”. It’s a very appealing play with some great characters, mistaken identities (girls dressed as boys), four marriages and all-round good fun. It’s a…

Scríobh Stephen Shields The Hole In The Ground agus is é seo an chéad scannán a stiúir Lee Cronin, an stiúrthóir Éireannacha.

Tá A Dog’s Way Home bunaithe ar an leabhar a scríobh W. Bruce Cameron sa bhliain 2017. Is é Charles Martin Smith an stiúrthóir agus is iad Ashley Judd, Bryce Dallas Howard, Jonah Hauer-King, Edward James Olmos agus Alexandra Shipp na príomhaisteoirí sa scannán mothúchánach seo. Tá sé an-oiriúnach do gach saghas duine go háirithe do theaghlaigh.

Verdi’s “La Traviata” Live from Covent Garden Wed, Jan 30th. Get all the facts with this preview by Jim Ryan.

Wed, Jan 30th, at 6.45pm      

    ‘Traviata’, as Maria Callas showed, again and again, is an operatic treasure.

Guiseppe Verdi’s “La Traviata”, his nineteenth opera, premiered at Venice’s La Fenice Theatre on March 6th, 1853 – and that below-par opening night was a disaster. The soprano, who looked anything but consumptive, was greeted with derision at Violetta’s death scene – “A complete…

Simon Callow performs Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol”: Tues, December 11th @ 8PM.

       I think I would travel to hear Simon Callow read the telephone Directory- I’m sure he would make it sound interesting. I’ve seen him live onstage a number of times in London and never saw him give a poor performance – for me, he is one of the treasures of the English-speaking theatre. When I think of him…

Sir Ian McKellan as ‘King Lear’, NTLive Broadcast Thurs, Sept 27 @ 7PM. Check out our preview.

”Ian McKellan reigns supreme in this triumphant production”. (Evening Standard)

Sir Ian McKellan, one of England’s greatest-ever actors, was born in Burnley, Lancashire in May 1939. He is, therefore, ideally qualified age-wise to play Shakespeare’s ageing king, who’s about to abdicate and thus set in train a cruel and calamitous train of events. I saw him undertake the role some years ago and…

Check out our Irish language review for Black 47

Níl aon dabht ach go raibh 1847 an bhliain is measa i stair na hÉireann agus faoi dheireadh, 170 bliain ina dhiaidh sin, rinneadh an chéad scannán faoin Gorta Mór. Cuireadh Black 47 amach i bpictiúrlanna in Éirinn an tseachtain seo.

NT LIVE, Wed, Sept 12 @ 7pm.

”Ablaze with energy … a delight”; (The Independent): “Giggles galore”; (The Times)

“The Merry Wives”, while it’s never acclaimed by Professors, is one of its authors most popular and most performed plays. It’s also one of the most often filmed (in varying adaptations) of his plays. It’s Shakespeare having some fun and its knockabout comedy has made it ever-loved.…

Check out our Irish Language review for Christopher Robin. The Movie is out now.

Bhí cliú agus cáil ar Winnie the Pooh ar fud an domhain agus cuimhníonn a lán daoine Christopher Robin mar an páiste a d’imir leis an mbéar sa “Hundred Acre Wood”. Bhí an scannán stiúrtha ag Marc Forster agus scríofa ag Alex Ross Perry ón scéal a bhí scríofa ag Greg Brooker agus Mark Steven Johnson.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom Review

It’s hard to believe but we are now five movies into the Jurassic franchise with this the sequel to the 2015 Jurassic World.  Directed by J. A. Bayona who must take a lot of credit for a visually spectacular movie that starts off fast and just keeps going with lots of high octane action throughout.

The plot continues on from the events of the precious movie where the humans have closed the park…

Wed April 11th @ 7.15pm

A production of “Macbeth” from Stratford is something to look forward to eagerly. The story of an essentially good man who, we are not sure why, turns to monstrous deeds, is endlessly fascinating.  The play is one of the most popular of all tragedies; it’s one of the most often filmed and most frequently staged of all its author’s plays.

“Macbeth” was always a joy to…

Opera and theatre lovers are in for a special treat in early April – Verdi’s “Macbeth” from Covent Garden, followed a week later from RSC, Stratford-upon-Avon, by the great drama on which it was based, Shakespeare’s ‘Scottish play’; a play whose name many in the theatre will never speak because of their fears that to do so is to invite ill-luck. Verdi and Shakespeare are…
