SUMMARY:Common Ground @ EPIC
DESCRIPTION:Common Ground: Ireland and the EU is a new multimedia exhibition exploring how Ireland’s membership of the European Union has shaped the country socially\, culturally and economically over the past few decades. The exhibition also looks at the impact Ireland has had across Europe\, telling stories of migration\, opportunity\, equality\, education and cultural exchange through immersive displays and personal stories. \n  \n\n\nIreland joined the European Economic Community (EEC) – as the EU was then known – on January 1\, 1973\, after a referendum endorsed by 83% of voters. It was then among the poorest and most underdeveloped countries in western Europe\, with a population just over half of its current size. \nIreland’s accession proved to be the most consequential economic milestone in the half century since Irish independence\, but it also set in motion far-reaching social and cultural change. EU legislation has driven improvements in workers’ rights\, for example\, and set binding targets for climate action. Irish people have studied and built new lives across Europe\, while many Europeans have since made their homes here in Ireland. \nAs Ireland assumes the EU presidency in 2026\, this new multimedia exhibition explores how a small island nation has extended its influence across Europe\, and how Europe\, in turn\, has profoundly shaped modern Ireland. \nFeatured Stories:\nEqual Pay \nStudying Abroad \nAn Ghaeilge \nEntry to this exhibition is included in general admission tickets.

SUMMARY:ANIMALS
DESCRIPTION:“The law\, Noel. Without it\, all of us are animals in the jungle. Killing and eating and riding whatever we think we can get away with.” \n\n\nPrepare to suspend your disbelief. Then let it dissolve completely. \nUnstable realities resemble our wildest imagination in this absurdist spectacle – writ large and set loose on the national stage. \nANIMALS is a riotous and kaleidoscopic world premiere commissioned by the Abbey Theatre and based on the critically acclaimed short fiction of award-winning contemporary Irish writer Blindboyboatclub (The Gospel According to Blindboy\, Boulevard Wren\, Topographia Hibernica)\, adapted by Dan Colley (Lost Lear\, A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings). \nHidden mythologies emerge as we follow Erskine Fogarty and his fridge-freezer on the long road to Limerick\, the vengeful Pamela Furlong become a dogman\, a poitín maker haunted by a cormorant\, and a dangerous liaison between two titans of Irish history. \nThe bizarreness of life is unmasked in this roaring and roaming new work that wonders aloud if the rowdy kids down the back of class might have been onto something all along. \n  \n\nCredits:\n\nFrom the short stories of: Blindboyboatclub\nAdapted and Directed by: Dan Colley\nSet Design: Owen Boss\nCostume Design: Saileóg O’Halloran\nLighting Design: Suzie Cummins\nComposition and Sound Design: Alma Kelliher\nVideo Design: José Miguel Jimenez\nSpecial Effects Design: Richard Babington\nMovement Director: Jessie Thompson\nAccess Design: Dee Roycroft\nDramaturg: Ruth McGowan\nVoice Director: Andrea Ainsworth\nAssistant Director: Ursula McGinn\nAssistant Costume Design: LaurA Fajardo Castro\nCasting: Barry Coyle and Dawn Mac Allister\nPublicity Artwork: Sarah Moloney

SUMMARY:Eve Darcy 'Married Without Children'
DESCRIPTION:After her sold-out run in Smock Alley’s Scene and Heard Festival\, comedian Eve Darcy brings her sharp\, funny and refreshingly honest stand-up show to the Town Hall Theatre\, Galway. Married Without Children explores society’s (i.e. Eve’s mother’s) expectations that women will get married and have kids\, or at least will want to have kids. Eve doesn’t want to have kids. She’s not even sure she wants to be married! \nKnown for her engaging storytelling and incisive humour\, Eve Darcy delivers a stand-up performance that is both laugh-out-loud funny and thoughtfully resonant.
