he Locals are hanging up the receiver on their BYOB day time party at their school yard party in Pallas studios. Catering to the glaringly short supply of day time parties in the capital, Telephones married space, sound and crowd with an inimitably intimate buzz. Papa Lou and Joma will be answering the call in the afternoon while Antal, the Dutch co-founder of Rush Hour Music will be on the night shift. Pallas Studios, Saturday September 22, (2pm, €20), Button Factory (11pm, €15) theatre Beckett’s Room gig Jesca Hoop Another big premiere at the Theatre Festival from players with pedigree. This time Dead Centre (LIPPY, Chekhov’s First Play and Hamnet) take on the original Irish hipster Sam Beckett telling the story of the apartment in Paris where Samuel Beckett lived with his partner Suzanne during the Second World War. A story of art and resistance, the audience listen through headphones and gaze upon a spectacle of absence. Beckett’s Room features one of our finest acting and writing talents, Mark O’Halloran, who last floored us in Shane Meadows’s sensational miniseries, The Virtues.

The fetus is conceived outside the uterus and dies within the mother’s body. The lithopedion I saw had been carried for 30 years and was named Stonechild,” explained Hoop to Atwood magazine.
