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

just loved sandra o malley in this Mother Courage and Her Children review: A darkly comic road trip through a Europe at war
