The Manchurian CandidateJohn Frankenheimer, 1962, USA, 126mins, Cert: 15A

This couldn’t have come at a better time for his mother, hell-bent on boosting the career of his stepfather, a Senator with designs on the Presidency. Based on the memorably paranoid bestseller by Richard Condon, one of the greatest Cold War suspense thrillers, this political satire remains perfectly on target even half a century later.

Starring: Frank Sinatra, Laurence Harvey, Janet Leigh, Angela Lansbury

SHOUT! - The Mod MusicalVerdant Productions & Do R Die Productions

A nostalgic nod to London’s Swinging Sixties.

The musical follows five young female subscribers to a fictional magazine called Shout!, ‘the magazine for the modern woman’, as they come of age during the liberating 1960s that made England swing. From cover to cover, Shout! unfolds like a musical magazine and travels in time changing attitudes about women. Shout! and its all-female cast reflect that change through the unforgettable music of the era through the decade, chronicling the dawn of liberation of women. Just as Dusty Springfield, Petula Clark, Cilla Black and Lulu were independent women with major careers, women were redefining themselves in the face of changing attitudes about women. Shout! and its all-female cast reflect that change through the unforgettable music of the era.

Battle of the Sexes

Jonathon Dayton, 2017, USA, 121 mins, Cert: 12A

The 1973 tennis match between Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs was a turning point in the politics of their game.

The film reminds us just how much blatant sexism pervaded the so - called sexual revolution. But it also shows the great strides made by trailblazers like King.

The Deadly Wizard of OzQuintessence Theatre

Toto, I’ve got a feeling we’re not in Dundalk anymore…’

In an Irish reimagining of an American classic, Dorothy is a moody social-media-addled teen of 21st century Louth, transported to a strange land with no Google Map or Uber to save her.

Played around the beautiful grounds of Anaverna House, Ravensdale, this interactive adventure asks the audience to help Dorothy, the Tin Man, Cowardly Lion, Scarecrow and Toto on Dorothy’s journey through Oz, and get her back to the modern conveniences of Wifi and Netflix. After all: there’s no place like home!

The Deadly Wizard of Oz takes a familiar, well-loved classic and imbues it with a fresh, amusingly twist for the modern family.

Quintessence Theatre is An Táin Arts Centre’s company in residence.
