I came across this film whilst looking at the line-up for Bristol Old Vic’s programme of new works and ideas, Ferment. Dan Canham from Still House, creators of 30 Cecil Street, took the source material from the film and has adapted it for stage. I didn’t get to see the stage adaptation, but I really enjoyed the film.

Here’s the film:

Here’s the description:

30 Cecil Street is a short dance film, shot in the dilapidated premises of the old Theatre Royal in the Limerick Athenaeum building. With a history that stretches back over 150 years, the Royal has been closed to the public for the last 13 years, since it was last used as a venue for live music and performance. Engaging with the atmosphere and past of this near-derelict building and using a soundtrack made up of found sounds and interviews carried out with people associated with the Athenaeum, 30 Cecil Street explores the state of a building that was once a hub of cultural activity within Limerick and now lies empty and closed to the public.
