Caught in the Net / Ray Cooney
Mask Productions present this comic play about
bigamist taxi-driver John Smith, who keeps both his
families happy and blissfully unaware of each other.
However, his teenage children, one girl and one boy
by each wife, have met on the Internet and are determined
to see each other in person. The ever-spiralling situation
gets increasingly out-of-hand as John tries desperately
to keep them apart. This fast moving, high energy play,
the sequel to hugely successful play ‘Run for
your Wife’, features many familiar faces from
RTÉ’s Fair City.

ArtMart
In conjuction with our other new initiatives included
in this brimming summer season, we introduce ArtMart.
ArtMart is a unique project that challenges ideas of
buying art, consumerism and trade. It also challenges
the concept of ‘what is art’; is it a painting
or drawing; has it to be by a famous artist and is it
for me? Art is not always obvious; it is not always
expensive or exclusive, it is however for everyone.
This new venture at Solstice presents the opportunity
for you to procure art in ways beyond your imagination
Admission: Free

Walking the Road /Dermot Bolger
Solstice Arts Centre presents in association with Meath
Arts Office, The Francis Ledwidge Museum and Axis-Ballymun

of Irish poet Francis Ledwidge. Lance Corporal Ledwidge
lost his life in Flanders Fields, 1917 while serving
with the British army in WWI. Leaving the familiarity
of his Co. Meath home, he joined the British army. This
new play follows Ledwidge on his final journey, as he
finds himself once again walking the road to his home
in Slane, alongside the ghosts of all of those who touched
his life. Walking The Road marks the 90th anniversary
of the 3rd Battle of Ypres, Beligum in 1917.
