Scenes from the Big Picture
On one of the recent special editions of Arts Extra I presented from Washington DC, I spoke to the Belfast theatre director about his plans for the new Tinderbox/Solas Nua production of "Scenes From the Big Picture" by . McCafferty's play has never been produced in Belfast -- even though it's a chronicle of Belfast lives. That's because it is an enormous production, involving 21 actors.
Des Kennedy's production was reviewed last Monday by the Washington Post. The reviewer was clearly
With this absorbing, exquisitely acted production, two-year-old Solas Nua affirms its status as the most vital new troupe in town. The company, whose name is Gaelic for "new light," has found in its area of specialty -- contemporary Irish drama -- a wonderful, fertile focus.
Theatre Flash! Prime Cut Productions tell me they will be staging the in the Waterfront Hall's Studio from Friday 7 September until Saturday 29 September. That Owen McCafferty's masterpiece is finally to be staged here, and with a company as accomplished as Prime Cut producing it, is extremely good news for Irish Theatre. I recommend that you book your seats early; better still, take 21 friends with you. I'll see you there. Tickets are available from the Waterfront Hall Box Office from 1st June 2007 on: 028 9033 4455 (Monday-Saturday, 9am-5pm).

Scenes is due be produced this September by us - Prime Cut - at the drama studio in Belfast Waterfront Hall. There's a full cast of 21 making it by far the largest ,and most ambitious production by any theatre company in Northern Ireland in a very long time.
William, come along on first night and see it then!
