THEATRE FILM
Wet Paint Capernaum
Saturday 26 October Wednesday 30 October
Fresh from his acclaimed performance as Billy
Murphy in the TV series and feature film ‘The
Young Offenders’, Shane Casey returns to the
stage in the 2019 national tour of ‘Wet Paint’. Capernaum — the word means ‘chaos’ or
‘disorder’ — opens with overhead shots of
Beirut buildings and slow-motion images of
kids running that suggests we are in poetic
mode.
It’s 2005 and the country is booming. Jambons
are selling at an all-time high at €2. That blind
opera singer guy is coming to Ireland for a
special concert in Cork and tickets are
impossible to find. Tony has a fresh tan from
the Canaries; Pa is wondering how Liverpool
will get on in the Champion’s League and
Barry’s got a secret. Sound familiar?
Inspired by his time as a painter decorator,
Shane Casey’s hilarious play depicts a day-in-
the-life of two painter/decorators and their
boss during the Celtic Tiger era, when anything
was possible, at least inside your head.
Written by Shane and directed by Patrick
Talbot. The play also features Michael Sands
and Tommy Harris.
Time: 8 Pm Price: €18/15 coNc.

But not for long.
Bookended by a court case, we follow 12-year-
old Zain’s life: his abusive parents haven’t
registered him for an ID card and he is unable
to prevent his 11-year-old sister being sold to a
seedy greengrocer for chickens. Zain goes on
the run, a non-person in flight. He is given
shelter by an illegal Ethiopian cleaner, Rahil,
and Zain becomes babysitter to her one-year
old, Yonas. But When Rahil fails to return from
work one day, Zain is forced into desperate
measures to keep Yonas and himself alive.
