His friend and fellow Nobel prize-winner, Harold Pinter, whose best-known works include The Birthday Party and Betrayal, described cricket as ‘the greatest thing that God created on earth’. Stumped is a brilliant absurdist comedy, which explores the friendship between these two grea

The Irish Potato Famine was the most catastrophic event in Ireland's turbulent history. It is also regarded as being one of the worst Famines in history (deaths as a proportion to population). The use of the word 'Famine' in this context is controversial, for Ireland at the time was part of the richest Empire in the World (the British Empire). There was sufficient food in the country throughout the 'Famine' years, yet over a million people died from starvation and disease, and millions more were forced to flee. This Exhibition tells the story of what happened during those horrific years. W

Not long after making that initial life-changing departure, it was instinct that led Remy to start performing solo under a plural moniker, U.S. Girls. Decades into her storied career as the visionary behind the now critically-acclaimed U.S. Girls project, it was instinct that led Remy to blurt out “we should make a record together” to guitarist Dillon Watson at a hotel bar in Arkansas
