Wonderful words from Kevin Brew. Working at RTE right now can’t be easy, feeling such empathy for so many brilliant friends and colleagues who just keep on doing the work, despite the madness of these past weeks.

It has saddened us all greatly that an artist invited to Ireland by us, particularly an artist coming from a war zone for a brief moment of respite, should have experienced this ❤️

Still thinking about just how good this production is. The direction by Conor Hanratty is superb, and @smockalley has never looked more beautiful. Two more weeks to see it.

Years in the making, the glorious #goldinthewater opened in @projectarts last night. This glittering new Irish musical by @ShaneOReillyDub & #paulcurley does everything in style. There may have been a few tears, but only with the joy of seeing such talent in abundance.💕👑
