The annual Fringe Festival has been launched in Dublin.

FOR a game normally played with the silence of a library, the Ryder Cup yesterday went loud.

WE won’t forget the name in a hurry: Artmedia Bratislava.

NEW faces Emma Louise O’Driscoll and Bríd Treasa Wyndham are to present two of RTÉ’s top programmes for children.

CONTORTIONISM, acrobatics, mysterious transformations, music and dance with Macnas providing the backing track. It must be Galway Arts Festival time again.

TALES of drunks, biblical mysteries and hurling are set for the stage while Jimi Hendrix, Albert Einstein and Che Guevara will take to the street.
