Not Like Thee Dr. Fell<br />
written by Bernard Farrell.<br />
A group of people gather in<br />
a sealed room for an<br />
Encounter Session under the<br />
direction of an American<br />
therapist. One of the group,<br />
a young man, displays<br />
increasingly disturbing<br />
behaviour. The others act<br />
and react around this<br />
central figure in a defensive<br />
and ruthless manner, which is<br />
hilarious and gripping at the<br />
same time.<br />

This 1952 film was based on<br />
a short story by North Kerry<br />
author Maurice Walsh. It<br />
was read by Director John<br />
Ford and he secured the<br />
film rights soon after.<br />
The technicolour romantic<br />
comedy-drama starred<br />
John Wayne, Maureen<br />
O’Hara and Barry<br />
Fitzgerald. The film is<br />
notable for its lush<br />
photography of the Irish<br />
countryside and the long,<br />
climactic, semi-comic fist<br />
fight between Wayne and<br />
McLaglen. The film won two<br />
Oscars and concludes our<br />
celebration of this groundbreaking<br />
short story.<br />

DOROTHY PARKER<br />
MADE ME A FEMINIST<br />
The Seanchaí Centre<br />
9pm - 10pm<br />
€10 / €8<br />
The journalist and writer,<br />
Mary Kenny remembers the<br />
teenage inspiration she<br />
derived from the witty,<br />
sassy and provocative<br />
verse of the wisecracking<br />
New Yorker Dorothy Parker<br />
and the subversive effect it<br />
had on her as a schoolgirl<br />
in 1950’s Dublin. The life<br />
and the verse plus the<br />
impact of a great feminine<br />
wit are recalled in Mary<br />
Kenny’s own inimitable<br />
style.<br />
