2:22 - A GHOST STORY

Shona McGarty, Jay McGuiness, Colin O’Donoghue, Laura Whitmore, Announced for The Very Special, Standalone Irish Production

The smash hit play by Danny Robins Makes Irish Debut At 3Olympia Theatre This Summer For a Strictly Limited Run

Directed by Matthew Dunster & Isabel Marr

“A slick, chilling, romp of a play” The Guardian

‘A modern classic’ Sunday Times

Producer Runaway Entertainment is delighted to announce the stellar cast for the critically acclaimed, smash hit, supernatural thriller 2:22 - A Ghost Story opening at Dublin’s 3Olympia Theatre this summer for its debut Irish performances.

Shona McGarty (Eastenders) will play Jenny, Jay McGuiness (The Wanted, BIG! The Musical, Rip It Up), who is currently on the UK tour in 2:22 - A Ghost Story, will play Ben, Colin O'Donoghue (Once Upon A Time, The Tudors, The Right Stuff, The Gray House) will play Sam with Laura Whitmore (Love Island, Finding Joy, Queenie, and Jenny in 2.22: A Ghost Story in her West End debut) stepping into the role of Lauren.

The very special, standalone Irish production, produced for Dublin’s 3Olympia Theatre, will open on Thursday 20th June 2024 with performances until Sunday 11th August 2024 - for a strictly limited run only.

Full list of performances below. Age Suitability: 12+ 

Tickets priced from €26.50 including booking fee and €1.50 restoration levy on sale now with Ticketmaster Ireland

2:22 - A Ghost Story began in summer 2021 at the Noël Coward Theatre, starring Lily Allen, Julia Chan, Hadley Fraser and Jake Wood, and where it won the WhatsOnStage award for Best Play. It then transferred to the Gielgud Theatre for 10 weeks from 4 December 2021. The production there starring Stephanie Beatriz, James Buckley, Elliot Cowan and Giovanna Fletcher completed its run on 12 February 2022. For the first season at the Criterion (May - September 2022) the cast was Tom Felton, Mandip GIll, Sam Swainsbury and Beatriz Romilly. In late September Laura Whitmore, Matt Willis, Felix Scott and Tamsin Carroll took over. 

The box office record-breaking run at the Lyric starring Cheryl, Jake Wood, Scott Karim, and Louise Ford, concluded its run on 23 April. The West End season at the Apollo Theatre starred Sophia Bush, Frankie Bridge, Ricky Champ, Clifford Samuel and Jaime Winstone, and set off on its UK tour in Autumn 2023 with Joe Absolom, Charlene Boyd, Nathaniel Curtis and Louisa Lytton in the cast. Current cast on the UK tour: Vera Chok (Lauren); Jay McGuiness (Ben); George Rainsford (Sam); Fiona Wade (Jenny).

2:22 is written by award-winning writer Danny Robins, creator of the hit BBC podcast The Battersea Poltergeist, and is directed by Matthew Dunster and Isabel Marr; it’s an adrenaline-filled night where secrets emerge and ghosts may or may not appear…

Danny Robins said: ‘I'm really looking forward to seeing how Dublin audiences respond to 2:22 this summer. The tour continues to be a great success and I can't think of a better place to round off the journey in 2024 than here with a brand new cast to be announced soon!'

What do you believe? And do you dare discover the truth?

“THERE’S SOMETHING IN OUR HOUSE. I HEAR IT EVERY NIGHT, AT THE SAME TIME"

Jenny believes her new home is haunted, but her husband Sam isn’t having any of it. They argue with their first dinner guests, old friend Lauren and new partner Ben. Can the dead really walk again? Belief and scepticism clash, but something feels strange and frightening, and that something is getting closer, so they’re going to stay up... until 2:22... and then they’ll know.

2:22 - A Ghost Story features set design by Anna Fleischle, costume design by Cindy Lin, lighting design by Lucy Carter, sound by Ian Dickinson for Autograph Sound and illusions by Chris Fisher. Casting by Matilda James.

2:22 - A Ghost Story is produced by Tristan Baker and Charlie Parsons for Runaway Entertainment, Isobel David and Kater Gordon.  [source]

I read 14 books in January. How did I read 14 books in January?

I started listening to audiobooks at work, which is great because data entry can be a slog. I also cut into my crafting time because sometimes I just don't feel like pulling a project out.

My Goodreads goal is 48, which is 4 books a month. I can definitely do that! I can't say I'll keep January's energy up the whole year, though. I know we already have a busy February.

Still, a pretty good start.

Im going to add to and edit this post later. This is something I'm working on on my family tree. This is from my family tree and a section I'm researching right now. Some of the Bennett siblings and some of the Lord siblings ended up as couples. I also grew up in the the church of Christ and I was looking to see if I had a family history of this way back in my family. There isn't much and I'm grasping at straws with this. Sarah Bagby and Joseph Noah Cantrell were my great grandparents. Here is Sarah Bagby's parents and grandparents. I've been to the graves of Joe and Sarah and Bill and Nancy and Nancy parents Bill and Sarah. Sou great grandmother was named after both of her grandmas I was told.

Note from Stacie: some of these names are wrong. For instance the name is Yandle and not Yandles for the names directly above. Perhaps the transcribers could read the notes or maybe they were not right in the notes. I copied and pasted them from the website where the transcription was.

"Webster county state of Missouri. I, William W. Shaver a legal minister of the gospel, did solemnize the rites of matrimony between William S. Bagby and Nancy C. Lord on the 8th day of August 1872.

William W. Shaver

A Minister of the Gospel"

In red is from the real written copy that I saw in online archives but it was blurry when I did a screen shot or the other option made it to small to read so I wrote it out.

You may notice Ws Bagby and Nancy C. Bagby in the church list. They were my 2x great grandparents. I looked at some info for William Wilson Shaver. He was also a minister in the Christian church and a part of the Stone-Campbell/Restoration Movement. My most immediate family subscribes to the church of Christ which is part of the same movement. I never knew where it started. I think this might be a coincidence. This is on my dad's side and actually on his father's side. I never met my grandfather because he passed away before I was born. It was my understanding that he didn't go to church. I know my granny did with us. I know my grandfather's father was a bad person and very mean. It was his wife who was the daughter of Ws Bagby and Nancy Lord.

Also Nancy Lord Bagby's Parents were William (bill) Lord and Sarah J. Bennett. Nancy was the only child ever listed on census records with her parents. I don't have any indication that there were ever more. This feels really unusual for the time but perhaps they couldn't have more.

I noticed that Sarah Lord is in the church list. Bill Lord was also still alive and I don't see him in the church member list. Ws Bagby's Parents were John Bagby and Sarah. I believe that Sarah's Maiden name was Todd and that she was the sister of Thomas Todd...he was the minister of the church members listed above. John and Sarah (Todd) Bagby moved to Texas and we're not here to be in this church. In fact I'm unsure of when they passed away and they may not have been alive at this time... I do not know what church they went to if any. I also can't prove that Sarah was one of the Todds but a lot of the family researchers believe this.

Here is another side note. This appears to be a very tight knit group. I wouldn't expect any less. Below is something on the find a grave site. This is the grave for the daughter of William Shaver who married my 2x great grandparents. You might notice her married name is Isabell Yandle. You might notice this name on the church list of Thomas Todd's church members. Her husband was John W. Yandle according to this site and the photo of the tombstone. I haven't looked for documents to prove this. I don't have any reason to think they are related to me but honestly anyone In this church list could be as tight knit as they were. I'm still looking at the members. I will say a lot of my ancestors and related people are in the New Grove Cemetery.

I will give updates as I have them.

RVG- Brain Worms (Fire)

Wow, that’s all I have to say on his new, 3rd, long-player from Melbourne, Australia’s RVG (Romy Vager Group)’

I’d heard the band’s sophomore effort, Feral, first when it came out a few years ago (then worked my way back to their strong debut). As good as those two records were, Brain Worms tops them with a crystalline production, dazzling performances and flat-out great songs.

Vocalist Romy Vager has a strong, emotive set of pipes, but even those words don’t really do her justice while guitarist Reuben Bloxham is an absolute master, doing both restraint and bluster in equal parts. The rhythm section of drummer Marc Nolte and bassist Isabele Wallace are precise and can be flashy without being showy. The band is tight.

Oh and the songs! Gorgeous opener “Common Ground” leads right into the punchy, soaring “Midnight Sun” where Bloxham’s guitar slashes and burns while Vager shouts “Yeah I know, that talking to you doesn’t work anymore!” and “It’s Not Easy” is another pretty one with some lovely Marr-esque guitar chords.

Later on the title track has Vager laying it all out there “(Now my kids won’t talk to me and my wife is leaving me…”) while the band charges ahead and the slow burn of the great “Squid” is among the best cuts on here as is the brilliant jangle of “Giant Snake.” (the final song ‘Tropic of Cancer” is a superb as well).

This band is currently firing on all cylinders and have really nailed it here. Brain Worms is an emotional, brilliant record by a band at the top of its game. One of my favorites of 2023 so far!

John Gielgud, 1937; Michael Redgrave, 1951; Mark Rylance 2003

Andrew Marr: Your father, Sir Michael Redgrave, gave one of the great historic performances of Richard II at the festival of Britain in 1951. What was so special about that?

Corin Redgrave: About his performance it was partly an inheritance of a performance that he admired and he loved by Gielgud. So there was an extraordinary continuity between his performance and Gielgud’s performance and probably performances that Gielgud had seen as well. He had an a wonderful ability to interpret the play through the music of his voice and the music of the text which is a wonderful thing in Richard II. As I remember it, I was only 11 at the time…he was able to bring to it some of the perils of bisexuality. Richard in this play is clearly devoted to his wife, Queen Isabel, but he is also surrounded by favorites. And that word “Favorites'' is a highly loaded word: Bushy, Bagot and Green.

Marr: And we’ll see Mark Rylance in this production play with that. We’re never entirely sure which way he swings.

Corin: That was possibly a new thing in its time, how much of that I caught, I don’t know. I was in love with it. I caught it five nights in a row. I went away and memorized the play. This is the play that made me fall in love with Shakespeare.

as-tu des films français à recommander? quelque chose que tu aimes particulièrement en ce moment, ou juste un film préféré?

j'ai un peu marre de regarder des films américains en ce moment ^^'

je comprends tout à fait l'envie de regarder autre chose que des films américains par moments ! ^^'

J’ai mis plusieurs films français (mais pas que) que j’aime beaucoup en dessous, en espérant que tu puisses en trouver un qui te tente là-dedans !

Alors trois films que j'aime énormément (et qui sont probablement mes préférés) sont :

- Suspiria (2018) : Donc celui-là n'est pas français mais le réal est italien et ça parle beaucoup en Allemand et un peu en français en plus de l'anglais. (juste, petit avertissement : comme pour bcp d'autres films que j'aime ça peut être franchement glauque par moments, surtout qu'il s'agit d'un film d'horreur avec des éléments de body horror). Film extrêmement prisé par les fans de films psychosexuels avec beaucoup d’homoérotisme :)   synopsis

- La pianiste : Encore une fois, celui-là est glauque mais pour des raisons tout à fait différentes (mais pas d’inquiétude, c’est toujours un film psychosexuel...). C'est un film dur émotionnellement mais la protagoniste (autour de qui tourne l’histoire soyons honnêtes) est très... marquante, faute d'un meilleur mot. Aussi les performances des acteurs sont juste époustouflantes (surtout Isabelle Huppert).     synopsis

- La Cérémonie : Juste incroyable. Je n'ai pas d'autres mots, j'adore ce film :') Dépeint bien les inégalités entre les classes et montre clairement l’indifférence de la bourgeoisie face aux difficultés quotidiennes de la classe moyenne. C’est un film d’un des mes réalisateurs préférés et deux actrices que j’aime énormément sont dans les rôles principaux. Il peut aussi être étonnamment drôle à cause des protagonistes qui sont vraiment... barrées... par moments (surtout quand elles sont ensembles). (aussi c’est vraiment l’exemple type du meme “anybody wants to be girl bestfriends ?”).  synopsis

Quelques autres films que j’aime beaucoup :

La science des rêves et Microbe et gasoil (Tout les deux de Michel Gondry) : Le premier est vraiment très loufoque et on ressent vraiment l’univers du réalisateur qui fait beaucoup de bricolages avec du carton et autres trucs récupérés. Le film peut être très drôle comme mélancolique, et le protagoniste est tout aussi attachant que pénible.  synopsis

Le deuxième est un film Coming of Age croisé avec du road trip où on suit deux adolescents qui viennent de situations familiales un peu cheloues. Hyper attendrissant et fun mais plutôt triste sur certains points. synopsis

Naissance des pieuvres : Un autre film coming of age, mais celui-ci est beaucoup plus cru et moins joyeux. Franchement réaliste dans la manière dont les personnages sont écrits et aussi les relations entre eux (et c’est sûrement ce réalisme qui fait encore plus mal). J’aime beaucoup les musiques et je trouve que le côté banlieue française en été est très bien retranscrit dans les images. Personnellement c’est mon film préféré de la réalisatrice mais ils sont tous à regarder parce qu’ils sont vraiment bons.  synopsis

enfin je dirais La Haine : Les images sont sublimes, les jeux de caméras te retournent le cerveau par moment, l’histoire est violente émotionnellement (et pas que) mais c’est une claque qu’on ne regrette pas de se prendre. On s’attache vraiment vite à ces loosers dont la vie n’est vraiment pas rose et honnêtement c’est un film à voir. Je dis rarement ça (surtout de films avec que des personnages masculins parce que je suis devenue allergique aux filmbros à cause d’internet) mais ça vaut le détour.  synopsis

Il y en a PLEINS d’autres que j’aimerais ajouter et je voudrais aussi me mettre à parler des supers séries françaises que j’adore mais que personne ne connaît malheureusement, mais je vais m’arrêter là parce que ça fait déjà beaucoup et que ça ne sert à rien de donner quarante mille recommandations !

J’espère vraiment que j’aurais pu t’être utile! J’ai essayé de pas mettre trop de films bizarres ou contemplatifs mais si jamais ça t’intéresse il y’en a pleins cjkqdmqm

Shift left? Might be stress.

According to a study by German researchers, horses tend to shift their laterality, becoming more “left-legged” and “left-eyed,” in stressful situations.

This switch to right-brain processing suggests horses are confronting challenges that are usually managed by the brain hemisphere that deals with emotions, the researchers said. When the horses adjust to the stressor and learn to cope, they tend to revert back to left-brain hemisphere processing, which deals with routine.

Observing changes in laterality could be an effective way to monitor how horses are dealing with management or training changes, for example, said Isabell Marr, PhD candidate under the guidance of Konstanze Krueger, PhD, of the University of Regensburg in Germany. Marr studies at the Department of Equine Economics at Nuertingen-Geislingen University in Nuertingen and the Department of Behavioral Physiology of Livestock at the University of Hohenheim, in Stuttgart, Germany.
