Posted on March 6, 2013

Entertainment editor Tracy Nyhan speaks to author and anthropologist David Slattery before his visit to UCC.   Can you tell us about your new book, Poet, Madman, Scoundrel, and give a few examples of the characters dealt with in the book? I wanted to write a book that captured a broader range of Irish humanity…

On the eve of her 50th anniversary of her death, Ellen Desmond remembers the legendary literary figure that is Sylvia Plath. Sylvia Plath is a name that literature fanatics can’t seem to shake off. Nearly everyone has heard of Plath – whether you’re still holding a grudge against her from last year’s Leaving Cert or…

Geraldine Carey was enthralled by Drama and Theatre Studies students’ production, Foregrounds, as part of their final year project. I had no idea I was in for such a treat when I went to this year’s Drama and Theatre Studies’ Final Year Project performances. There was almost a full house – clearly, word had spread…

Julie Daunt takes a look at the books behind the new film releases of 2013. Every year there are more than two dozen films that have been adapted from books. However, it is often that the film versions of published stories are different to the original novel. Films often leave out chunks of books that…

Consider Canterbury | Eoghan Lyng

By admin   Posted in Arts & Literature Byline
Posted on February 26, 2013

Eoghan Lyng tells us why everyone should read Geoffrey’s Chaucer’s classic work, The Canterbury Tales.      A colossal work, its place in the world of fiction is well deserved. If houses were to be surveyed, I believe that 90 per cent of homes would have a copy of this fantastic book. Sadly, it seems that…

Victoria Sweetman gives her thoughts on the Glucksman’s film exhibition Passports: Globalisation in Contemporary European Video.      Migration seems to be an unrelenting and repetitive feature of contemporary Irish culture. Passports: Globalisation in Contemporary European Video, currently running in the Sisk Gallery in the Glucksman,offers an alternative conception of migration, travel, culture and national identity. Rather than…

The Wonderland of Alice Maher | Julie Daunt

By admin   Posted in Arts & Literature Byline
Posted on February 26, 2013

Julie Daunt reviews Alice Maher’s mid-career retrospective Becoming that took place in Dublin’s IMMA.      A ball of tightly and neatly secured snail shells; delicate, fragile but begging to be viewed up close and touched. This was The Four Directions (2003-4) and was the first work I was met with when I visited the Irish…

Julie Daunt anticipates The Godot Company’s return to Cork’s Everyman Theatre to perform three short plays by Samuel Beckett from February 11th-13th.      While he might not be everyone’s cup of tea, you cannot deny that 1969 Nobel Prize winner Samuel Beckett is one of Ireland’s most famous, successful and influential playwrights of the twentieth…
