REVIEW: The Boat Factory
BY EMMA GALLEN FULL STORY
Dan Gordon wrote and starred in The Boat Factory, a moving play about workers in the shipyards in East Belfast. Michael Condron delivered a fantastic array of accents, and the chemistry between the two actors was fizzing. A play starring only two people can get slightly dull and drag, but The Boat Factory was fast-paced, funny, and left you knowing an awful lot more about Belfast’s history.

FEATURES: Let the right one in
BY PETER MCLOUGHLIN FULL STORY
If you can read the words written on these pages then there’s a good chance you could read the subtitles of a Swedish vampire film if they were displayed in English, on screen, in time with the dialogue. If you can understand the words then you could probably understand a film’s story without needing an Americanised context, setting, or Hollywood schmaltzing.
