"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.

Lunchtime Theatre - Is There Balm in Gilead?]

Start Date: 14 August 2007
End Date: 18 August 2007

By Michael Harding Starring Mary McEvoy and Sean Murphy Directed by Caroline FitzGerald

An old house. The sound of a cat scratching in a room next door. A woman alone. The shadowy figure of a man she once loved. The woman could have stepped from the pages of Edgar Allen Poe. The man too, or he could even be Poe himself. From the extraordinary pen of playwright and Irish Times columnist Michael Harding comes a surreal tale of a woman haunted by the memory of the man she once loved - or is it he who is haunted by her? All is mysterious and foreboding in this darkly funny lunchtime tale.

Father Mathew]

Start Date: 20 September 2007
End Date: 22 September 2007

What happens to a man who becomes the saviour of a nation?
Father Mathew was one of the most significant figures of the 19th century. He was a radical liberation theologian a century before the world would hear of the phrase. He lived Christ's message so completely that the Catholic hierarchy were terrified of giving him power. His story encompasses the key events and personalities of the 19th century on both sides of the Atlantic and shows the rise and fall of a man who did what no one else has been able to do before or since: get the Irish to give up drink.

An acute dissection of sexual policy and emotional manners, Is this about Sex? debunks the definitions that bewitch, bother and bewilder us.
