Pavilion shows

Southsiders who missed the recent sellout CoisCeim double-bill at Project are in luck – it’s playing for one night only at the Pavilion Theatre in Dun Laoghaire on Sat 6 Feb. As You Are, directed by long-time CoisCéim dancer Muirne Bloomer, portrays a quirky world where individuals are tested to the limit as they struggle for control over themselves and each other. In Faun, CC artistic director David Bolger takes Nijinsky's iconic ballet L’après midi d’un Faune. – which caused a riot when it was first performed – and, mixing Debussy’s famous score with Queen, explores how dance still reconnects us with our feelings and imagination. www.coisceim.com
The appropriately named UK theatre company Love & Madness are at the Pavilion from Tue 9-Sat 13 with 2 new productions steeped in teenage angst and star-crossed love, Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet (directed by former Cheek by Jowl-er Owen Horsley) and Shelagh Delaney’s A Taste of Honey, a piece of gritty northern English realism from 1958. www.loveandmadness.org And if you fancy keeping all that crazy romance going, the Cafe Orchestra play a Valentine’s Night Special at the Pav on Sun 14 Feb. www.paviliontheatre.ie
