Brideview Drama Group have asked us to post this information and link which is highly recommended for anyone connected with the Arts. “Here is the link to Fiona Shaw’s recent lecture, The Michael Littleton Memorial Lecture. http://www.rte.ie/radio1/littleton/ It’s about language and Irish theatre and it’s fantastic! Maybe you could put the link onto the bulletin for inspiration? Thought the least I could do is share it! The Michael Littleton Memorial Lecture is a most prestigious annual public lecture hosted and broadcast by RTÉ Radio in honour of the station’s late Features and Arts Editor. Previous lectures in the series have been delivered by Mary Robinson (2003), Archbishop Diarmuid Martin (2004), Prof David McConnell (2005), Prof Brendan Drumm (2006) and Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala (2007). (It’s an hour long so get comfy and enjoy.)”

‘Tom Dick & Harry’

The plot? Well, Tom and his (long-suffering) wife Linda are trying to start a family, and are expecting a visit from the scarily efficient Mrs Potter, the Inspector from the local Adoption Agency. But Tom’s idiot brothers, Dick and Harry, arrive (and get completely in the way) with all sorts of ridiculous schemes to help out: including illegal immigrants, even more illegal cigarettes, a worryingly logical trade in used body-parts, an Albanian Crimelord, gardening tools, alcohol, dodgy car tax-discs, saxophones, mobiles phones, a spring-loaded sofa and a clueless plodder of a cop.

Of course, it all works out well in the end, after much laughter, physical comedy and racing about. It stars a finely tuned cast, including Will
Motherway (as the hero), Sean Tobin (the Delboy character), Audrey Sheehan (ever-loving), Mary Curley (strict & scary), James Hyde (just plain thick), Martin Sheehan (armed and dangerous), John Roche (An Garda), Tomás Roche

(Chin Chin!) and Emer Martin (as the gorgeous girl, in her 1st production with the club).

‘Tom, Dick and Harry’ is on 2 weekends: Thursday to Saturday, January 21-23
and 28-30, at Tallow Community Centre, from 8.15PM each night. As always,
there’s lots of nice free refreshments at interval (wine, nibbles and soft drinks). You don’t need to book – just arrive at the hall, or save a place
by calling 058 56304 between 11AM and 5PM.

See you there! (Yes, the heating will turned up ALL the way!)
