Galway Arts Festival is a wild fortnight of theatre, music and comedy, says Carl Dixon

The western front

THE Galway Arts Festival — showcasing theatre, music, comedy and visual art events — opens next Tuesday and runs until July 24.

A coup this year is the revival of Enda Walsh’s one-man show, Misterman, which premiered in Cork in 1999, and has not been performed since. This new production reunites writer-and-director Walsh with actor Cillian Murphy, who starred in Walsh’s breakthrough play, Disco Pigs. Both Misterman and Disco Pigs were originally produced by Cork company Corcadorca, who bring their version of Franz Xaver Kroetz’s Request Programme, directed by Pat Kiernan and starring Eileen Walsh, to the festival.
