Shakespeare's Comedy of Errors at the Abbey Theatre

You'll already have seen the chance to win tickets to see Shakespeare's The Comedy of Errors at Dublin's Abbey Theatre over on Culch.ie. Here's the new promo video for it.

...two sets of identical twins are separated in childhood. Years later, they all show up in the same place at the same time. The Comedy of Errors tells the story of a father, mother, brothers, sisters, masters and servants, all of whom find themselves confused, baffled and bewildered by the events of a single day.

I'm off to see it tomorrow night. From what I'm hearing, it should be great.

No more My Little Piebald newsletter?

Ah boo. Just as it was getting interesting (i.e. less personal), another satirical look at Ireland is put to rest.



Email below (formatting mine):

Dear readers,

Due to one of our editors dying, and another being called up to play for the Lions in South Africa, MLP will be appearing in a different format from now on.

Starting on May 1, My Little Piebald will publish a monthly edition on our website.

The format will be slightly different but we will maintain the low standards and unfinished feel that has been perfected in the weekly mailout.

In the meantime, we are leaving you with a selection of the worst articles which have appeared in My Little Piebald since it started last May.

We will let you know by email when there is new content available on the site.

Kind regards,

MLP

I found it funny that the link to their worst articles didn't work when I got this due to a mistake in the URL. That's just my sense of humour though.

Who will rise to take their place?

Summoning the Fail Whale - the twouble with twitters

One of the better takes on Twitter I've seen in a while from the folk over on Current TV.

Loving lamps, lints and Loki tonight in a love triangle

It's not as bad as it sounds.



Lampsy - the genius behind the I love lamp stickers around Dublin - was in touch to let me know about the new exhibition featuring themself, LadYLoKibeE and Lints in the All City Gallery - downstairs at All City Records on Crow Street in Temple Bar, Dublin - opening tonight.

The exhibition runs from March 21 to 28 from 12 to 6pm each day and you'll find them at the directions below:

Go to Dublin's Temple Bar Area. Over the Square, past Urban Outfitters, round the corner is Crow St. Walk up to Foggy Dew / Dame St end. Alternatively turn off Dame St and walk down - we're on the right hand side.

Get your house into the history books of Trinity College

At least.. that's what I think this means...



So if you'd like to help the Ents hold the largest house party that Trinity has ever seen, maybe get in touch with Nick? I'm sure they'd only be drinking tea and the like and would do the washing up afterwards... wouldn't they?

It's viral advertising but still pretty damn cool for the F1 fans

I got sent this via email today from Vincenzo who works for "viral videos production company from London" asking if I'd embed it, it being a Vodafone viral.

My initial reaction was no thanks, but after watching what they've done with a Blackberry Storm and a McLaren Formula One car, I have to admit to being impressed - looks pretty cool...



I'm not sure if I'm more impressed by them getting Lewis Hamilton to do it or that office racing track. That looks pretty funky, eh?
