The highly-cultured readership of this site will be interested in the programme for the 2011 Dublin Theatre Festival which is available here.
Regular contributor Gavin Kostick has an excellent play in the Festival: Fight Night, which I saw a while ago. You can also listen to the RTE radio performance of this play here.

You forgot to mention Morgan Kelly is giving atalk at the Kilkennyarts Festival next week.
Would this be a good place to go to see some farce…. or shall I just keep on reading the FT?
Kelly’s Lecture will be sold out pretty quickly, too: http://www.kilkennyarts.ie/events/details/hubert-butler-lecture-professor-morgan-kelly/

I remember back in the 80s, a US friend of mine telling me that he saw graffit on a freeway bridge the day Reagan was elected.
