23 Sep 2011
The Ulster Bank Dublin Theatre Festival begins on September 29th and runs for just over two weeks. As always there is a huge range of productions from around the world to see and you can see the full programme and book tickets at the festival website.
One of the most anticipated shows is Gardenia at the Gaiety by one of the world's most influential dance theatre companies, les ballets C de la B (Belgium) who are returning to the festival after entrancing Dublin audiences in 2006.
"Gardenia is a flamboyant and defiant tale featuring seven ageing transsexuals and transvestites, who, through fake eyelashes, glitter and gloss, convey the indomitable nature of the human spirit. Sometimes hilarious often poignant, this glitter-dusted mix of song, dance, theatre and cabaret is a shimmering yet deeply tender experience that defies categorisation.
A unique collaboration between the celebrated musical director Frank Van Laecke and the multi award-winning Alain Platel, one of the world's leading directors and choreographers, Gardenia comes to Dublin having taken the world by storm following its première at the illustrious Avignon Festival in 2010."
You can read The Stage's review from the show's Brighton Festival run HERE.
I have four pairs of tickets to give away for the opening night of the show in The Gaiety on October 10th.
To enter simply e-mail me (panti@ireland.com) with your full name, and put FESTIVAL COMPETITION in the subject line. Simples!
The competition will close next Friday and I'll get Bláthnaid McGee to randomly chose the winners. I'll get Bláthnaid to do it because she doesn't know anybody who goes to the theatre so it'll be fair and unbiased.
