The things on our radar for this weekend and the coming week ahead. Happy weekend from IMAGE!
Today:
See The Approach Here
Listen carefully …Three women. Three Conversations. As the details of what they share begin to diverge, we realise that a subtle game of survival is being played. Both psychological puzzle and quietly devastating tragedy, The Approach explores the inner lives of Anna, Cora and Denise as they desperately try to make sense of their world. What will their conversations reveal? And what does each of them have to hide?
The Approach runs from Thursday, February 1st, to Saturday, February 24th at the Project Arts Centre and stars three of Ireland’s leading actors; Cathy Belton, Derbhle Crotty and Aisling O’Sullivan. The Approach is Mark O’Rowe’s first new play since the smash hit Our Few and Evil Days. Click here for tickets and show times.
Explore The Shaw Here
The Bernard Shaw Flea Market takes place twice a month. The first Saturday is always the Vintage + Flea and the second is a themed market with the theme and date changing monthly. Hours of trade for each market are 12-4pm. Stalls are €30 unless indicated otherwise and tables and chairs are provided, plus two free drinks to keep you going throughout the day. So whether you’re a buyer or a seller, expect plenty of vintage finds, vinyl, artwork, jewellery and more. And grab yourself a delicious pizza from The Big Blue Bus while you’re at it.
