Offaly County Council’s provision for the arts has continued to grow and develop in recent years in the context of both the Councils Corporate Plan and County Development Board’s Strategic Plan. One of the primary objectives in both of these plans is the preparation of a comprehensive arts plan that would take stock of the developments to date and to strategically plan for future arts provision. There is no doubt that the Arts Service provides a positive way for the Council to creatively engage with the community and the impact of the arts in the wider context of the economic social and cultural development of the county is widely recognised. Through the support for the implementation of this plan, Offaly County Council aspires to improve the quality of life of the citizens of Offaly. We wish to promote an appreciation and understanding of the value of the arts in the community and to be inclusive in providing opportunities to access and participate in the arts. We warmly welcome this publication and assure the people of Offaly of the full support of Offaly County Council in striving towards the attainment of its actions and objectives. SECTION Cllr.

As someone who has made musicals, world premieres, family programming, and presentations from around the globe. theatre in an array of found and site-sympathetic The work is enjoyed by 225,000 audience members annually, with one in four under the age of spaces, including pubs, shops, piers, beneath eighteen. Chicago Shakespeare is the city’s leading producer of international work, and touring flyovers, and one time inside a de-sanctified church, its own productions across five continents has garnered multiple accolades, including the putting theatre on in pubs around Ireland felt like a prestigious Laurence Olivier Award. Emblematic of its role as a global theater, the company sort of homecoming. I suspect every theatre director spearheaded Shakespeare 400 Chicago, celebrating Shakespeare’s legacy in a citywide, based outside of Dublin has had a production of yearlong international arts and culture festival, which engaged 1.1 million people.

    Fís Éireann / Screen Ireland Presents In association with Altitude Films & The Broadcasting Authority of Ireland An Atomic 80 Production In co-production with Wrong Men with the support of VOO, BETV, BNP Paribas Fortis Film Finance & The Tax Shelter of the Belgian Government DATING AMBER Written and Directed by David Freyne Produced by Rachael O’Kane, John Keville Co-Produced by Benoît Roland World Sales: Altitude Films Contact: [email protected] Running Time 92 mins Rating TBC Language English Screen Ratio 1.85:1 Sound 5.1 Frame Rate 24 FPS Year of Production 2019 LOGLINE Set-in Ireland during the mid-90’s, two teenagers, Eddie and Amber, fake a relationship in order to stop everyone speculating about their sexuality. SYNOPSIS DATING AMBER is a poignant, honest and funny look at the highs and lows of teenage life where the only way to fit in is to not be yourself, even if this goes against your very being. Set-in Ireland during the mid-90’s, Eddie and Amber decide to stage a relationship in order to stop everyone speculating about their sexuality. Eddie is keen to follow his Dad into the military, while Amber dreams of moving to the liberal hub of London. However, their ‘ideal’ arrangement begins to fall apart, forcing Eddie deeper into denial as Amber realises that a perilous future awaits her best friend unless she intervenes. DATING AMBER is a love letter to all those kids who grew up in a small town and who needed to escape in order to be themselves. CAST FIONN O’SHEA as Eddie Fionn O’Shea has gone from strength to strength since first appearing on screens in the Oscar Nominated short New Boy in 2009.
