The Pride of Parnell Street, Sebastian Barry

Produced by Fishamble, an Irish company, this play deftly draws the limits circumscribing the urban underclass.

Highly recommend.

Provenance, Maya Beiser

An intriguing (somewhat tedious) cello performance, backed up by percussion, oud, and live electronics.

Recommend with caveats.

The Burial at Thebes, Sophocles with Seamus Heaney translation

The Nottingham Playhouse Theatre's production is one of the finest I've seen of a Greek tragedy. It bears repeat viewings.

Highly recommend.

Sirens

Spinning speakers and blinking lights. Sounds ludicrous. No. Fascinating.

Highly recommend.
