David Lindsay-Abaire’s Pulitzer prize-winning drama, filmed in 2010 with Nicole Kidman and Aaron Eckhart, is filled with distinctive wit and grace, charting the path from grief to its antidotes… love and hope.
Fast becoming the City’s cultural hub, the versatile space of the Tower becomes a contemporary New York apartment with its intimacy allowing the audiences to feel that they are sitting in the room with this family and sharing the journey that they take, leading to an up close and personal theatrical experience that continues in CCADS’ long-held, multi award-winning tradition of bringing exciting works of distinction to the area for the very first time.
A response to Lindsay-Abaire being challenged by his mentor to write about what scared him most, the playwright imagined how he would feel if anything ever happened to take his young children from him – and CCADS Artistic Director John-Paul McCrohon and real-life wife Kerry McCrohon, as parents of a young child themselves, have found equal resonance in connecting with the material whilst exploring the roles of Howie and Becca, playing alongside Becky Garnett and Brenda Kent as Becca’s sister and mother.

First up Belfast Giants take on Cardiff Devils so I caught up with David Goodwin to see how the team are feeling after a battle against Dundee Stars and how ready they are for the games ahead. It was, I suggest, an intense weekend for the team. “Yeah, I mean it was. It always is. The quarterfinals… you never know what you're going to get.” Goodwin replies. “On one hand, you have us, the Giants, who are coming off a league title win, so we're on a high. But then you got Dundee, who don't want to go away quietly. They were fighting and scratching and clawing for every inch and it lead to two feisty games. “I give Dundee a lot of credit. They threw everything they had at us. But ultimately, I think our consistent play, maybe some of our higher skill was able to shine through and get the...
