British Council launches arts programme in Dublin

The British Council today unveiled its autumn programme in Dublin which includes political debate, drama, an exhibition on climate change and a conference looking at the challenges and responsibilities of the media in an increasingly multicultural Ireland.

Launching the programme, Director of the British Council, Tony Reilly, said: "Our Autumn programme stretches the boundaries of what we mean by cultural relations."

The programme includes the play "Bloody Sunday: Scenes from the Saville Inquiry", a photographic exhibition about climate change called "NorthSouthEastWest - a 360 degree view of climate change" and "Bodily Functions" - a year-long programme of performances, residencies and installations run in partnership with the Granary Theatre, Cork.
