One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

4th November 2008 to 15th November 2008

‘One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest’ is a disturbing yet comic play where we see McMurphy rouse his fellow patients to rebel against the rules and regulations that govern their lives and suppress their spirits. His efforts to bring a glimpse of freedom to the mental and physical imprisonment of the inmates touch a chord within all of us as we all identify with the only weapon he has – his humanity.

The Pictures Film Club - Kings

20th October 2008

Kings tells the story of a group of young Irish-speaking men who emigrated to London in the late 1970s to work on the building sites, promising to return home rich and successful. In the 25 years that they have been there, the clock does not stop for alienation or inner despair. They are working men: strong, even indestructible. Any gnawing feelings that something is not quite right quickly dissipate in the camaraderie of their mates. Adapted from Jimmy Murphy’s critically acclaimed play Kings of Kilburn High Road, Kings is the first bi-lingual feature film to be produced in Ireland and stars Colm Meaney and Donal O’ Kelly.
