Film –‘Restrepo’
8pm, Thursday 31 March, Admission: €6

The story set in 2008 sees Sebastian Junger (The Perfect Storm) and Tim Hetherington dug in with the men of Second Platoon for a year. Afghanistan’s Korengal Valley, a stronghold of al Qaeda and the Taliban and has proven to be one of the U.S. Army’s deadliest challenges.

“With unprecedented access, the filmmakers reveal the humour and camaraderie of men who come under daily fire, never knowing which of them won’t make it home.” – Winner – Grand Jury Prize of Sundance Film Festival, 2010

 

It’s a Cultural Thing, or is it?’ featuring Glenroe actor Michael Collins
8pm, Saturday 2 April, Admission: €12

The Play chronicles Michael’s personal journey from living in a barrel-top wagon as a child on the road with his family, to their move to Dublin and the end of the traditional way of life.

It’s a Cultural Thing, or is it? is “Entertaining, enriching and provocative—you could hardly ask for more from a show. These engaging, true tales portray the discrimination and hardship routinely experienced by the Travelling community.
Collins is an effective presence and tells his stories with humour, passion and a total absence of self-pity.” – Dublin Fringe Festival, Irish Times
