ELVIS FANS - PLEASE BOOK NOW TO SEE THIS OUTSTANDING FILM

Elvis sings and tells his story like never before in a new cinematic experience from visionary filmmaker Baz Luhrmann,
featuring never-before-seen footage and recordings.

"The footage is beautifully restored and artfully re-edited, with shots allowed to linger
with almost obsessive, erotic attention on their subject. Elvis himself does the rest."

Every woman loves a bad boy, or so the cliche goes. Here it is tested when Christy Mahon walks into a pub to confess he has killed his father with a farming tool. It’s not quite the truth but he is, to his own surprise, turned into a local celebrity. Women flock to see him and men hail him a hero.

John Millington Synge’s unromanticised comic portrayal of a farming community in the west of Ireland caused moral outrage at its 1907 premiere at Dublin’s Abbey theatre. This revival by the Abbey’s current artistic director, Caitríona McLaughlin, makes clear that it is something of a woman’s play, ahead of its time, with two female leads abjuring conservative Catholic morality to hope for something bigger than a small, scratching country existence.

Nicola Coughlan plays spirited barmaid Pegeen, who is dazzled enough by Christy to abandon her suitor, Shawn (Marty Rea). Siobhán McSweeney, as Widow Quin, is more strategic and openly lascivious. Both tread a fine line between comic desire and serious inner yearnings. “It’s true all girls are fond of courage,” says Widow Quin, and Éanna Hardwicke, as Christy, manages the transformation from geek to hero to geek again in a way that shows how little he changes, but how much those around him are willing to believe.
