Dean Crowe set to return to hosting public events
The Dean Crowe Theatre is announcing a return to public performances with a dynamic programme of arts events over the coming weeks.
Halloween mid-term break will see a free art and multimedia exhibition at the theatre showcasing the work created by participants in the One Tribe programme in 2020 and 2021.
The exhibition celebrates the fifth year of this inspiring arts ability partnership between The Dean Crowe Theatre and Arts Centre, St. Hilda’s Services and Rehab Care Services Athlone. Led by Sandy Hughes, Colin Fahy, Aishling Fennell, Muirenn Lyons and Alix Bailey, the project moved online in 2020 and 2021 as a response to the pandemic.
This exhibition marks the return to in-person activity and presents the extraordinary results created under the most challenging restrictions. Also featured in the exhibition, Colin Fahy’s documentary and archive footage offers us a glimpse into the transformation and activity of One Tribe 4 and One Tribe 5.
This project is part of the Creative Ireland programme and is funded by Creative Westmeath.
In November the Dean Crowe will see a variety of public events on stage. The Iron Annie Literary Cabaret is a celebration of music, theatre and literature on Wednesday, November 3.
Based on Luke Cassidy’s debut novel Iron Annie, it tells the story of Aoife, a major figure in Dundalk’s small-town underworld, and her fatal attraction to Annie, a magnetic and elusive force that barged into her life.
Think Reservoir Dogs meets Thelma and Louise meets The Rocky Horror Picture Show. This production features Eleanor McLoughlin as Aoife, accompanied by musical performances by folk duo The Dandelion Few and newly-formed rock band False Slag.
Acclaimed director Terence Davies will attend the 2021 Still Voices Film Festival on Friday, November 5, for a special screening of his 1988 masterpiece Distant Voices, Still Lives which will be followed by a conversation between Davies and film critic John Maguire.
Now that Eileen, Maisie, and Tony are adults, their childhood memories – and in particular those associated with their father – are inconsistent.
While Eileen clings to happier times, her siblings remember his brutal violent nature, which has been a major influence on their growth and development. This troubled family must deal with the day-to-day alongside their past.
