Galway Arts Festival Founded in 1978 Galway Arts Festival is one of Ireland’s flagship cultural events and one

of Europe’s leading international arts festivals. The Festival celebrates the very best of the

international reputation for contemporary, intelligent and popular programming.

Galway Arts Festival has brought many leading international theatre and dance companies

to Galway including The National Theatre, Royal Court Theatre, Manchester Royal

Exchange, Michael Clark Dance Company; Hofesh Shechter Dance Company and

National Theatre of Scotland, (UK); Steppenwolf Theatre Company, Stephen Petronio

Dance Company; New York Theatre Workshop and Hubbard Street Dance USA; Canada’s

Galway’s Druid Theatre Company. The Festival’s multi–award winning production of Trad

having previously enjoyed runs in Edinburgh, Adelaide and London.

In recent years the Festival has worked with seminal artists across the artforms including

Joni Mitchell; Bill Viola; David Byrne, T Bone Burnett, David Hockney; Tom Murphy,

Kronos Quartet, Larry Gelbart, Alan Rickman, John Mahoney, Steven Isserlis and Philip

Glass amongst many others. Later in 2011 the Festival will present a major exhibition,

Landmark Productionswas established by Anne Clarke in 2003 to produce work in Ireland and to tour

Irish work abroad.

Since then, the company has managed four international tours for two theatres on

three continents, and produced six Irish premieres and four world premieres in Dublin.

David Hare’s Skylight won outstanding critical acclaim and broke box office records

at the Project in 2004. It was followed by Edward Albee’s Tony Award–winning play

The Goat, or Who is Sylvia?, which attracted similarly outstanding reviews; by the

world premiere of Dandelions, which enjoyed two sell–out runs at the Olympia and

introduced Fiona Looney as ‘a new voice in the theatre’ (The Irish Times); by Glen

Berger’s existential detective story, Underneath the Lintel, which was nominated for

Best Actor and Best Production during the Dublin Fringe Festival and subsequently

undertook a national tour; by David Harrower’s Olivier Award–winning play Blackbird,

at the Project; by the stage incarnation of Ross O’Carroll–Kelly, The Last Days of

the Celtic Tiger, and Fiona Looney’s October, both at the Olympia; and by Frank

McGuinness’ version of one of the great classics of world theatre, Miss Julie, at

the Project. Most recently, the company presented David Harrower’s Knives in Hens,

directed by Alan Gilsenan, to exceptional critical acclaim at the Smock Alley Theatre,

brought Underneath the Lintel to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival with the support of

Culture Ireland, and presented Paul Howard’s Between Foxrock and a Hard Place

at the Olympia, Gaiety and on tour to the Cork Opera House.

Plans for the next year include three world premieres, including a co–production with

the Ulster Bank Dublin Theatre Festival, shortly to be announced; and the premiere

of a new play by Fiona Looney, Greener.

Enda Walsh Writer / Director

Enda Walsh is a multi–award winning Irish playwright.

He lives in London. His work has been translated

into over 20 languages and has been performed

internationally since 1998.

His recent plays include Penelope (Druid Theatre

Company), which has been presented in Ireland,

America and Britain, from 2010–2011. Other plays for

Druid include The New Electric Ballroom, which played

Ireland, Australia, Edinburgh, London, New York and

LA from 2008–2009, and The Walworth Farce, which

played Ireland, Edinburgh, London and New York,

as well as an American and Australian tour, from

2007–2010.

His other plays include Delirium (Theatre O/Barbican),

which played Dublin and a British tour in 2008;

Chatroom (Royal National Theatre), which played at

the RNT and on tour in Britain and Asia (2006–2007);

and The Small Things (Paines Plough), which played

London and Ireland (2005).

331 Christ is the center of the angelic

world. They are his angels: “When the

Son of man comes in his glory, and all

the angels with him.”191 They belong to

him because they were created through

and for him: “for in him all things were

created in heaven and on earth, visible

and invisible, whether thrones or

dominions or principalities or authorities

– all things were created through him

and for him.”192 They belong to him still

more because he has made them

messengers of his saving plan: “Are

they not all ministering spirits sent forth

to serve, for the sake of those who are

to obtain salvation?”193

350 Angels are spiritual creatures

who glorify God without ceasing and

who serve his saving plans for other

creatures: “The angels work together

for the benefit of us all” (St. Thomas

Aquinas, STh I, 114, 3, ad 3).

351 The angels surround Christ their

Lord. They serve him especially in the

accomplishment of his saving mission

to men.

352 The Church venerates the angels

who help her on her earthly pilgrimage

and protect every human being.

353 God willed the diversity of his

creatures and their own particular

goodness, their interdependence and

their order. He destined all material

creatures for the good of the human

race. Man, and through him all creation,

is destined for the glory of God.

354 Respect for laws inscribed in

creation and the relations which derive

from the nature of things is a principle

of wisdom and a foundation for

morality.

Cillian Murphy Thomas Magill

Cillian Murphy made his mark on stage with a stunning

performance in Enda Walsh’s Disco Pigs. After

receiving commendations for Best Fringe Show at the

1996 Dublin Theatre Festival and the Fringe First

Award at the Edinburgh Festival in 1997, Disco Pigs

went on to tour extensively in Ireland, the UK, Canada

and Australia. He later starred in the film version

directed by Kirsten Sheridan. In 2006, he made his

West End debut at the New Ambassador Theatre

in John Kolvenbach’s Love Song, directed by John

Crowley.

Cillian’s stage collaborations with Tony Award–winning

director Garry Hynes include The Country Boy, Juno

and the Paycock and The Playboy of the Western

World at the Gaiety Theatre in Dublin. He also starred

as Konstantin in the Edinburgh Festival production of

The Seagull directed by Peter Stein, as Adam in Neil

LaBute’s The Shape of Things at the Gate Theatre in

Dublin and as Claudio in Much Ado About Nothing

at Kilkenny Castle.

Cillian recently appeared in Inception (Warner Bros.),

a contemporary sci–fi thriller set within the architecture

of the mind (2009). The film, which also starred

Leonardo DiCaprio, Marion Cotillard and Ellen Page,

marked his third collaboration with director Christopher

Nolan.

In 2005, he made an indelible impression as Dr.

Jonathan Crane/The Scarecrow in Batman Begins and

he subsequently reprised the role in The Dark Knight.

Cillian also starred opposite Brendan Gleeson

and Jim Broadbent in Ian Fitzgibbon’s Perrier’s

Bounty, a dark comedy that follows three

unlikely fugitives on the run from a gangster

kingpin in Dublin. He first garnered international

attention for his performance as the reluctant

survivor Jim in Danny Boyle’s 28 Days Later.

Following Batman Begins, he starred opposite

Rachel McAdams in Wes Craven’s hit thriller

Red Eye and garnered a Golden Globe

nomination for his performance as Patrick

“Kitten” Brady in Neil Jordan’s Breakfast on

Pluto.

In Ken Loach’s 2006 Cannes Film Festival

Palme d’Or winner The Wind that Shakes the

Barley, he portrayed a guerilla fighter who

battles the British Black and Tan squads that

attempt to thwart Ireland’s bid for Independence.

He re–teamed with Boyle and writer Alex

Garland (28 Days Later) on Sunshine (2007),

a thriller in which a group of scientists attempt

to re–ignite a dying sun.

His screen credits also include John Maybury’s

Edge of Love, John Crowley’s Intermission,

Peter Webber’s Girl with a Pearl Earring,

Anthony Minghella’s Cold Mountain, How Harry

THE LAKE ISLE OF INNISFREEby William Butler Yeats

I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,

And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made;

Nine bean rows will I have there, a hive for the honeybee,

And live alone in the bee–loud glade.

And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,

Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;

There midnight’s all a–glimmer, and noon a purple glow,

And evening full of the linnet’s wings.

I will arise and go now, for always night and day

I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;

While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey,

I hear it in the deep heart’s core.

1892
