Wow, Time Flies!

Oh my god! You guys, you guys! Has it really been almost two months since my last post?! How did that happen?! I'm sorry I am a bad blogger.

Here is how it has been almost two months I can sum it right up to two things: Dublin Fringe Festival and the Dublin Theatre Festival. Two festivals of theatre (you know that thing I do and love?) one right after the other.

The play I was in, All Hell Lay Beneath with Sugarglass Theatre Company was in the Fringe Festival. It went very well, was very succesfull. We received high praise and were nominated for Best Off-Site Venue and Spirit of the Fringe. It was an honor to be apart of this wonderful production. Then I assisted with another production, The Last Ten Years, a collaboration between Sean Millar and RADE in St. Patrick's Cathedral. It was also nominated for Spirit of the Fringe.  Then of course I had to see some productions myself so I saw: Dogs by Emma Martin Dance; FARM by WillFredd Theatre Company; and White Rabbit/Red Rabbit by Nassim Soleimanpour. All were amazing and totally unique productions.

Then came the Theatre Festival and I spent all my money and went to so many plays. I'm going to list them off: Dubliners by Corn Exchange; Boys of Foley Street by Anu Productions; The Select (The Sun Also Rises) by Elevator Repair Service; Bird with Boy by junk ensemble; Have I No Mouth by Brokentalkers; Hamlet by The Wooster Group; and Everyone is King Lear by Pan Pan Theatre Company. These performances have been enlightening, inspiring and so exciting!

So as you can see I have been very busy.

I am currently in the process of writing reviews for everything I have seen so once I have done that I will post them here. But if you are living in the New York area both Hamlet and The Select will be coming to a theatre near you and I would highly suggest you don't miss them!

In the meantime I have continued working with the theatre company, adjusting to life by the sea, running, and generally living in Ireland. And eating, breathing, sleeping. All that stuff too.

Sorry guys, I'm tired. And I'm getting on a plane tomorrow to go to Paris! And then to London! And then I'm seeing Mark Rylance and Stephen Fry in Twelfth Night at The Globe! So I'll give you a proper update and the lowdown on Paris/London when I get back!
