Prime Cut Productions, Ireland’s leading independent and award-winning theatre company, return with their critically acclaimed new version of Jean Cocteau’s ‘The Human Voice’, by Darren Murphy.

It is a contemporary Belfast story of a woman juggling love and work, as emotional and psychological demands on her time from a desperate client interrupts the devastation of her final call with the lover who abandons her. Pushed to her limits, she must negotiate a treacherous path between her private and public worlds. Heartache is not the aching, luxurious business it used to be.

🎄⛄ ‘German Smokers’ are decorative incense burners that have become a staple in German Christmas decorations. The hollowed-out belly of the turned figure holds a small cone shaped incense which, when lit, allows clouds of smoke to puff out of the figurine’s mouth to make the character look like he/she is smoking a pipe.

This two–day course is suitable for those who have attended a Beginner’s Course or who have some experience of woodturning. Two projects will be completed, a smoking snowman and small Christmas decorations or candlestick.

📅 Friday 11 & Saturday 12 December (2 days)
