Lisa Richards Agency, presents;
Neil Delamere - Bookmarks.

Best known as the star of RTE’s The Panel, The Republic of Telly and BBC’s Blame Game, Irish comedian Neil Delamere performs his current show, Bookmarks.

Seeing your photograph (along with those of 2 Ireland Rugby players, a national broadcaster and an elite athlete) on your university bookmark is food for thought. But this is what happened to our intrepid comedian, Neil Delamere.

Trinity College has Oscar Wilde, Dublin City University has Neil Delamere. Hmmm. It was a sign. Life is just a series of bookmarks – the events that highlight how far we’ve come and how far we’ve left to go. They could be anything, weddings, funerals, charges being dropped even facing your fears (don’t).

Neil considers these markers as well as how his photo appeared on the thing in the first place. Time to explore…….Oh yeah, we also get to find out how long Neil will live

Theatre Workshop, presents;
Copenhagen by Michael Freyn.

The play remembers a meeting that took place in 1941 between two physicists, the Danish Niels Bohr and German Werner Heisenberg. As friends they had collaborated on crucial work that led to the atomic bomb, but World War II placed them on opposite sides. Heisenberg arranges a mysterious trip to see Bohr and his wife. The meeting that follows, rich in splendid dialogue and fine acting, tests our feelings on both the moral responsibilities of the scientist, and the link between a man in wartime and the country he unavoidably represents when in an alien land.
