LONDON based Godot Theatre Company is touring Ireland extensively with three short Beckett plays and with Beckett’s great publisher, John Calder. Put aside the night of Monday February 6 to see ‘Rough for Theatre’, ‘That Time’ and ‘Rockaby’ unfold from 8pm onwards. Theatre will be followed by a Q&A with Calder on the shows and on his friendship/ career with the playwright. Millennium Theatre at LIT, Moylish will be the venue. Students and the wider community are most welcome and theatre promoter Richard Ryan has pinned tickets price at €7 in the interests of egalitarianism. Samuel Beckett would smile.

GREAT things and good things are generated by the arts scene in Limerick City, so the great and good reassured a thronged Limerick City Gallery of Art at its relaunch last week.
The €1.7mn remodelled art centre and new café Zest within Carnegie Building was especially pleasing to Minister for Arts, Gaeltacht and Heritage Jimmy Deenihan who liked the  synergy between the historic and new, the interior visuals and immediacy of People’s Park.
