"A Ray of Light" - Art Exhibition by Simo Rezzani]

Start Date: 07 June 2007
End Date: 10 June 2007

Simo Rezzani was born near Genova in Italy. She studied art and design at the Institute of Art and Restoration in Milan. For seven years she worked as an illustrator for a prestigious design company in Milan. In 1993 she came on holiday to Ireland and the 'holiday' was extended to the present day!
Her love affair with art, culture and the people of Ireland was further enhanced by the subject matter available to her, and in particular the ever changing light.
Her watercolours and oil paintings have been widely appreciated and exhibited through renowned Art Galleries, local exhibitions and interior design shops over the last ten years. Simo's impressionist style has captured seascapes and landscapes along the Dublin and Wicklow coast. The spirit and character of people and places is captured by her in bright glittering colours from the pallet of an impressionist artist. In Simo's painting one can find the Italian love of design and order merging with Celtic landscape and the spirituality warmed by the Italian sun.

So who is Roy Keane? This captivating new play imagines the world as viewed through the eyes of Ireland's most controversial sports figure. Set during Christmas 2005 just prior to his move to Celtic, Keane is living at the centre of a myth, attempting to deflect the excesses of adulation and hatred, while displaying an engaging humanity and uncertainty coupled with wry detachment and brutal self awareness. Directed by award-winning director Jim Nolan, and performed by Myles Horgan (Wind That Shakes The Barley)
