AMELIA opening tonight “Maps of Africa and Arabia were my favourite. The names were so mysterious and tantalisingly far away that they colonised my imagination. I rolled on my tongue such places, Senegal, Khartoum, Bab - Al - Mandagh, Hadramaut.”

Blue Raincoat Theatre’s ‘Hunting Darwin’ - the story of the ‘worst journey in the world’ during Scott’s Antarctic expedition - is puppetry of a calibre which conveys both desolation and heroism in 40 action-packed minutes. Unmissable! @SligoRaincoats @artscouncil_ie @SligosBuzzin
