SUMMARY:The Love Hungry Farmer
DESCRIPTION:The Love Hungry Farmer by John B. Keane\, adapted for the stage by Seamus O’Rourke: \nJohn Bosco McLaine is a bachelor farmer with a romantic heart and an unshakeable belief that love is just around the corner. Although he has never had much luck with women\, his optimism remains intact. Undeterred by the endless advice and opinions of his neighbours in a community where eligible women are few and gossip is plentiful\, John Bosco sets out on a determined search for a wife. \n\nIn this warm\, funny\, and deeply touching adaptation of John B. Keane’s beloved novella\, Seamus O’Rourke brings the lovable farmer to life with humour\, heart\, and exceptional storytelling. Often compared to Keane himself for his gift of capturing rural Irish life\, O’Rourke delivers a performance filled with colourful characters\, sharp observations\, and genuine humanity. \nA delightful evening of laughter\, love\, and one man’s unforgettable quest to find his perfect match.

SUMMARY:After Sol – An Exhibition by Mary Conroy
DESCRIPTION:After Sol – An Exhibition by Mary Conroy \n Free Admission \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLaunch: November 5th\, 6pm \nAfter Sol is a compelling exhibition by artist Mary Conroy that investigates the increasing separation between people and the natural environment. \nInfluenced by Abstract Expressionism and Minimalism\, while remaining firmly connected to craft-based methods\, Conroy produces works using unusual natural materials such as plant-based inks\, recycled paper\, and wild clay. These are paired with drawings created using mass-produced black pens\, merging two contrasting realms within a unified visual language. \nAt the heart of the exhibition lies the contrast between permanence and transformation. The natural materials continue to alter and develop over time\, mirroring the cycles of growth\, decay\, and regeneration found in nature\, while the black ink remains constant and unchanged. Through this interplay\, After Sol explores humanity’s pursuit of permanence in contrast to the reality of a constantly evolving natural world. \nLayered with texture and delicate detail\, the exhibition encourages viewers to reflect on their connection to the environment and to consider the delicate relationship between the human-made and the natural world.
