exhibition Poster Boys: The Work of Kevin Scally
and Brendan Foreman for the Abbey Theatre A free exhibition showcasing the posters that graphic designers Kevin Scally and Brendan Foreman made for various Abbey Theatre productions throughout the 1970s and ‘80s is currently running at the National Print Museum. Scally and Foreman’s work quickly became stand-out features in Dublin City’s landscape as they revitalised the concept of how creative promotional posters could look through eyecatching, inspired, and colourful illustrations, whose influence can be seen in the advertising of events big and small to this day.

This month’s BAN BAM will feature two new theatrically symphonic pieces. The first is Joanna Mattrey’s Battle Ready II, which concentrates on themes of conflict and loss of home and identity to give a voice to the voiceless. The second is Christine Tobin’s Pseudologia Fantastica, which examines how disinformation and misrepresentation persist through our modern network of connectivity and technology, and how today’s falsehoods will influence tomorrow’s truths.
