During the season where everything is nice, DUPA and DU Film bring you the Sin Ball, giving you a chance to be a little naughty! In an event inspired by the seven deadly sins of wrath, lust, gluttony, sloth, envy, greed and pride, be prepared to unleash your bad side. The interactive event will recreate famous sinful events of film history and aims to create a few more. Tickets go on sale at 11am on Friday December 11th in the Arts Block.
From Tuesday to Thursday DU Players will be running Q Week. The festival begins with the presentation of Honorary Patronage of Rory O’Neill, better known as Panti Bliss. This promises to be a no less than fabulous event, with drag art workshops, film screenings and shows exploring gender identity. So get down to Players to find the event that suits you.
After the success of Dr Daragh Downes’s talk on Nietzsche last week, the equally charismatic Professor Chris Morash brings us his own public lecture on December 8th at 6.30pm entitled “Why Commemorate Yeats?” which will also include a reading of translations of Yeats’s poetry by contributors to “Regenerating Yeats”, a project launched by the Trinity Journal of Literary Translation. This is an event not to miss for fans of both Yeats and literature in general.
There can never be too many pub quizzes, the latest is brought to us by Trinity Geographical Society. This will take place on December 14th in the wonderful venue that is J.W. Sweetman. It’s €2 entry per person but a night of geographical fun is promised in return.
Wednesday December 8th will play host to another quiz! €5 entry to Chaplin’s at 8pm will get you a place at DU Kayak’s Christmas Pub Quiz. There will be prizes and raffles galore in this glorious night of general knowledge set to get you right into that Christmas spirit.
