Vive Noepeli, Short films and Festivals!!!

My two friends did their thing, Kathleen O’Rourke with her comedy partner, Gearoid Farrelly - and Clodagh Downing.. It was great.  Myself and [...]

Exhilarating, Tired, Inspired, Weary…The show, the show, the..

Ladies and gentlemen,
so much to do, have wonderful new producer to help, sat with him and conspired in Dalkey last night.  There was an electricity cut so we talked in candlelight - quite magical… I always sense wonder in the air when I meet a new artist to take part in the process.  Keith is [...]

Vive la Catedral!

Ladies and Gentlemen!  La Catedral!  It was a wonderful surprise last night to find myself so moved and inspired and delighted to be a part of the Salon in the Backloft at La Catedral.  It was one of the great magical artistic nights that happen sometimes in Dublin - and that make Cabaret and performance [...]

Back from Nice and ready to reel!

Ladies and Gentlemen!
Had a sweet rest in an attic looking over the sunny winter rooves of the south of France… I was alone in the atelier: read ‘Revolutionary Road’, and - about the French Revolution -  in, ‘Citizens,’ a book by Simon Schama.. Am studying the history of social change for my film and novel..
Came [...]
