My Life As A Courgette/ Ma vie de Courgette
FIlM
Wednesday 31 January Time: 10.30am Price: €7
Dir. Claude Barras, Switzerland/France, 2016, 65 min
Coming in at just over an hour, this French language animation’s title might
suggest a childish or whimsical aspect. However the story is anything but.
After his mother's disappearance, Courgette is befriended by a police officer
Raymond, who accompanies him to his new foster home filled with other
orphans his age. At first he struggles to find his place in this strange
environment. Yet with Raymond's help and his new-found friends, Courgette
eventually learns to trust and might even find true love.

Danny O’Brien ‘RaconTour’
Friday 02 February
Time: 8pm Price: €12
Fresh from a sell-out month long run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and a tour of
South East Asia, award-winning comedian Danny O 'Brien returns with his most
adventurous and unique solo show to date!
After inheriting a broken-down, unreliable, older-than-he-is motorcycle, Danny
decided to take to the road on a comedic expedition. Come hear the story of this
RaconTour- in all its glory, failures and triumphs alike!
Following in the footsteps of Simon Pegg, Dylan Moran and Dara O’Briain - Danny
was handpicked last year to perform as part of the iconic ‘Best of The Edinburgh
Fest’ Show in Australia, touring Perth World Fringe, Adelaide Fringe Festival and
The Melbourne International Comedy Festival.
“O'Brien took to the stage like a force of nature...one suspects it won’t be too
much longer before stadiums come calling. ” Irish Examiner ★★★★★

Price: €15/10 conc.
In this age of uncertainty, where shadows of tyranny, intolerance and
war darken the narrative of human progress, how much time do we
have left? If civilisation fell today, what would become of us? In
Rebecca Vaughan and Elton Townend Jones’ re-invention of HG Wells’
classic, a Victorian explorer travels through time into tomorrow,
discovering the fate of our endeavours; uncovering our darkest fears…
From the fall of man to the end of the world, this is the story of us all.
From the creators of: Jane Eyre: An Autobiography, Austen’s Women,
Christmas Gothic and Dalloway.
