I Sell The Dead
Mercifully, I had a fun diversion to avoid Valentine’s nonsense last night. One of the first films to sell out in the Jameson Dublin International Film Festival was I Sell The Dead, a comic horror flick that is the debut feature from writer/director/editor Glenn McQuaid. It’s not a genre I’m familiar with, at all, so I [...]...

Cathal Ó Searcaigh and the Late Late Show
Cathal Ó Searcaigh was invited to appear on the Late Late Show tonight. However, this morning they appeared to get cold feet about allowing him to speak live, and, perhaps under legal pressure from Vinegar Hill, the production company behind the controversial film Fairytale of Kathmandu, informed him that they would only proceed if his  interview was [...]...

Twittering birds on a tree
The Arts Council New Media Conference was a very enjoyable day, not least because there was a lot of optimism around, people were very friendly, and there was a real interest in the topic.

Review: Terminus - Peacock Theatre
There's a moment described in Mark O'Rowe's new play Terminus, where a woman has been battered over the head with a chair. As she comes to, she realises that a man is wanking over her comatose body. That comes as close as I can get to describing the experience of watching this production, the moment I realised the opening monologues weren't just prologues before the real drama began, but the whole dramatic structure. Maybe I was in a bad mood. The audience seemed to like it. The cast were brough...

Letter in the Irish Times re Paisley remarks on homosexuality
I was forwarded this letter today, about Ian Paisley Jr's comments on homosexuality in Hot Press, suggesting that people write in to The Irish Times to respond. I would point out that in October 2006, 84% of people in the Republic support legal recognition for same-sex relationships. And that the majority support gay marriage in Ireland. That's what I call a moral majority. PAISLEY REMARKS ON GAYSMadam, - Few people if any appear to be defending Ian Paisley jnr against accusations of homophobia ...

Review: The Crucible - Abbey Theatre
The Crucible is a big play about big themes. It addresses weighty issues such as faith and superstition, collective hysteria and paranoia, the price of integrity, the explosive anarchic power of repressed sexuality, the cost of infidelity, and the way scapegoats serve to maintain social order and bolster shaky notions of piety. Not having seen it before, its reputation as one of the much-studied classics of American theatre preceded it, and so, to be honest, I was expecting an intellectual disco...

The Soft Dick and the Gaydar Profile
A poem written and performed for "Love Poetry Hate Racism" at Crawdaddy Dublin on 22nd April 2007. I had a cold so it sounds a bit gravelly but it kinda suits it. (Not to mislead anyone: this isn't a poem about racism, it's an explicit, robust, no-holds-barred 8-minute long queer performance piece.) ...

Roger Casement's Gaydar profile
A lot of people search the web for information about Roger Casement, and some of them end up here on my blog to read about my finding a 1993 BBC Radio 4 documentary on him, to listen to it, and to read the Bootboy article I wrote about hearing it. So I thought I'd add two more essays of mine, for your reading pleasure, both of which were published in Diary of a Man.The first, Roger Casement and Cock, was written in May 1995: We should see the contrast between the ecstatic slavering cocksucker an...

Bootboy: Identity
This homecoming business is tricky. The subtleties and nuances of Irish life, my new Irish life, are proving to be more challenging than I had anticipated. Although, of course, I should not be surprised. Memory is a trickster. The deeper, more personal reasons why I left in the first place have, of course, not gone away. I should know better, and I do, but somehow it doesn’t help. I no longer have the luxury or the romance of being an exile, can no longer wrap myself in the “wounded Irish Cathol...

The Montisi jousting festival
My last weekend here was a bit of a blur. The nearby town ofMontisihas a jousting tournament, the centrepiece of a week-long festival. The town is divided into four contradas, or quadrants,Piazza, San Martin, TorreandCastello, and competition between each is intense. The whole town decks itself out in contrada colours, flags and emblems that have not changed since medieval times, and each contrada puts on an extravagant street party and meal before the jousting. Because my friends are inCastell...

A year ago
As I wasn't blogging a year ago, I'm republishing the article I wrote after the bombings on the 7th July 2005, a day I'll never forget. Silent Pillows8th July 2005 Late at night, I can hear two things, usually, that remind me where I am, give me a sense of place. If the wind is right, the sound of Big Ben drifts over the West End, and reaches me through my open window. The other, more regular noise, is a soft rumbling, when my ear is pressed to my pillow: the Piccadilly line underneath me,...
