Dir. Aisling Walsh, Ireland/Canada, 2016, 115 min
Maud (Sally Hawkins) is a determined young woman who, despite
suffering from juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, is desperate to live
independently from her family and gain the freedom to paint the
colourful art she passionately creates. On becoming a
housekeeper for a reclusive fish peddler Everett (Ethan Hawke),
the two social misfits form a bond that leads to marriage. As
Maudie’s artistic output increases, a chance encounter with a
visiting New Yorker eventually leads to wider recognition of her
talent. This gentle biopic from Irish filmmaker Aisling Walsh (‘Song
for a Raggy Boy’) is an inspiring tale of the woman who became
one of Canada's most celebrated folk artists.

Da
ThEATrE
Thursday 10 May
Time: 8pm Price: €12
‘Da’ by Hugh Leonard is a very funny, but tender
play set in Dublin after the burial of Charlie Tynan’s
(played by Joe Murphy) father.
Charlie’s return to his childhood home prompts the
appearance of a host of ghosts from the past
including his erstwhile Da (Kevin Lalor-Fitzpatrick). Retracing the key events of his life; he recalls his
foster-mother, his battles with his boss, his early romantic encounters, while his re-emerged father
passes comment.
A comedy laced with pathos, ‘Da’, directed by David Corri, is peppered with memorable one-liners on
emotional injury, love, and marriage.
