BELFAST FESTIVAL AT QUEEN’S REVIEW: The World’s Wife
Thursday, October 22nd, 2009
Written in 1999, before she became poet laureate, ‘The World’s Wife’ is Carol Ann Duffy’s re-imagining of the great men in myth and history, through the eyes of the women around them.
In this adaptation of the anthology for stage, director Di Sherlock and actress Linda Marlowe have created something which is difficult to categorize. Part poetry recital, part theatre, Marlowe performs 19 of Duffy’s poems, as 19 different characters, over the course of 75 minutes.

BELFAST FESTIVAL AT QUEEN’S REVIEW: Amnesty International presents ‘Stand Up For Justice’
Thursday, October 22nd, 2009
The annual comedy night in aid of Amnesty International took place in the Ulster Hall this year, instead of its usual home at the Whitla Hall.Starring five different comedians, the night was kicked off by Karl Spain who is from Limerick, “Europe’s murder capital”. According to Spain, it is where the gay pride marches feature marchers saying things like, “If anyone sees me here I’ll never be able to say another mass in Ennis again.” Spain told the audience of how he thinks of the IRA and U2 in a similar way in that, “Some of their earlier stuff was good, but their recent stuff is a bit off.” He was a definite audience pleaser.
