	Dinosaur EncounterAmbassador Theatre, Dublin @ 10:00 Exhibition • Information	Feb 15, 2010 €10
Nobody has ever seen a living dinosaur, but scientists can give us a good idea of what they looked like and how they moved. We often imagine dinosaurs as colossal flesh-eating beasts that lived on our planet for an incredible 160 million years. Some were indeed gigantic, but many were only as heavy as a Labrador dog and many were vegetarian! Did you know that the Ornithomimus could run faster than an Olympic sprinter? See how the sociable Triceratops lived in herds, caring for and protecting their young. Meet Dilophosaurus, a relative of the first dinosaur found in Scotland. Come face to face with the mighty Tyrannosaurus rex, one of the fiercest land predators ever known. This massive animatronic model, 4 metres tall and 7 metres long, is so lifelike you’ll think it’s the real thing! Walk past the head of a hungry Tyrannosaurus and watch as his terrifying jaws go SNAP!

	What Happens Next Is A SecretIrish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin @ 12:00 Art • Information	Feb 15, 2010 Free Event
This is an experimental exhibition which attempts to addresses the question of what happens when artworks become part of a collection and are subsequently shown in many different contexts. Working from a potential list of works, the artworks will be changed during the course of the exhibition, with removal of artworks generating absences which call to mind gaps in our memory and point to the partially hidden nature of Museum collections. Additions of works will draw out new and perhaps unexpected associations, and new narratives will emerge within the overall structure of the exhibition. Other strategies such as repositioning works within the exhibition will be used to alter the pace of the exhibition. A list of these potential works will not be disclosed in advance.

	Yesterday's Tomorrow TodayThe Joinery, Dublin @ 11:00 Art • Information	Feb 15, 2010 Free Event

	Christ Deliver Us! by Thomas KilroyAbbey Theatre, Dublin @ 19:30 Theatre • Information	Feb 15, 2010 €25 - €38
‘When I have children I’m going to let them grow wild as weeds. No one bothers with weeds and still they grow and grow.’ In a provincial Irish town in the 1950s the children have some questions: What’s happening to them and what’s happening in the world around them? And why? The young heroes of Thomas Kilroy’s urgent new play strive to carve out an understanding of the world beneath the unbearable weight of unanswered questions, confusion and their own desires. And the clergy gather like crows on the horizon. Based on Frank Wedekind’s masterpiece of German symbolism Spring Awakening, Christ Deliver Us! is a play about how hard and how wonderful it can be to grow up during a period of Irish History that we can never again look back on with nostalgia.

	Little Gem by Elaine MurphyAbbey Theatre, Dublin @ 20:00 Theatre • Information	Feb 15, 2010 €25
Amber has fierce bad indigestion and the Sambucas aren’t getting rid of it. Lorraine attacks a customer at work and her boss wants her to see a psychiatrist. Kay’s got an itch that Gem can’t scratch (but maybe Kermit can). Paul is just using Amber until he can get to Australia.

And if all that wasn’t bad enough, Little Gem makes his presence felt and…well…life is never the same again.
