Project Arts Centre have their very own tent in the Mindfields Arena at the Electric Picnic this year and the line-up is excellent. It’s worth tearing yourself away from the 15 billion other things going on around Stradbally to check out a few plays. Talking Show Ensemble are doing I’m a Home Bird (It’s very hard), which I loved when I saw it last April. Other shows on the bill that I have seen and enjoyed are Victor and Gord by the wonderful Una McKevitt Productions and MIMIC, which will take you so far away you will completely forget that you are in the middle of a field in Stradbally.

Also check out the Make and Do games on Saturday 3rd September. They are starting at the Project Arts Centre tent at 2pm for Stag Hunt and 4pm for We’ve lost Arthur..again.
