CAPTURE THE FLAG KILKENNY
On August 23rd, Kilkenny's streets play host to a free urban game of capture the flag. Some of you may remember playing capture the flag in a summer camp when you were younger. Maybe you've played it on the annual company team-building game of paintball, but either way you now have the chance to play it in an urban setting throughout the medieval streets of Kilkenny.
Capture the Flag FAQ
What the JESUS?!
Capture the flag is a team based game comprising of 2 teams. Red vs Blue. Each team has their own flag which they must protect from the other team while simutaniously trying to capture the other teams flag and return it to HQ. Red team is at Black Abbey, Blue Team is at Kilkenny Castle
Can I play?
Sure! Just mosey on down to the Town Hall on High street at 2pm on 23rd August 2009. The tag system and rules will be explained to you, then you'll be split into teams and the game begins!
How many flags?
2
Where is this based?
It is based across roughly 1km² of kilkenny. If you want a map just view it in the pictures on this bebo.
...so 3 flags?
No. Just 2 flags.
Whats this tag system yoke?
It's kind of like tag rugby. Each player is given a bandana at the start of the game. You are not "in" the game unless you have a bandana. This is placed in an easy-to-steal place like your beltloop. You tag other players by taking their bandanas. You can't be tagged on your own side of Kilkenny. Boundries are on the map. When tagged you return to HQ (Town Hall) and get another bandana and continue the game.
How many flags again?
Get out.

Following on from the December production of Accidental Death Of An Anarchist, this madcap marital meltdown from Italy's maestro of farce sticks a knife into the institutions that cripple us whilst offering belly laughs to cure what ails ya.
Tickets can be booked at the Set Theatre Box Office at 056 - 7765133 or online at tickets.devioustheatre.com

EDIT: Hadn't seen the previous posts about this! Sorry
You may have seen these posters up around the place - especially in the Credit Union on the High Street:
They're for local theatre group Devious Theatre's production of Dario Fo's Can't Pay? Won't Pay! in the Set Theatre, starting tonight and going on to Sunday. Tickets are €13.
Can’t Pay? Won’t Pay! tells the story of two working class women, Antonia and Margherita, who are frustrated by rising prices and struggling to make ends meet.
Along with the other women in their neighbourhood, they decide to rebel against the cost of living by taking goods without paying. However, hiding the shoplifting spree from their husbands and the pursuing authorities might prove a little trickier than expected.
The cast includes Angela Barrett, Ross Costigan, Hazel Fahy, Ken McGuire and David Thompson. The production is directed by John Morton who previously directed Accidental Death Of An Anarchist and Trainspotting for Devious Theatre.
I've seen a lot of Devious Theatre's work and can personally guarantee a great night's entertainment. I brought my folks along to their last show and they loved it. They also have a great blog up on their website.
Anyhow, this is a shout out to them, letting you know about the show. I have a competition for tickets up in the theatre forum too. I'll be there Friday and may be inclined to buy any Boards.ie members there a pint
Cheers
