#Theatre #Review at #SiArtsNI - Girls And Boys.

The Untap Production of Dennis Kelly's play featured an "astonishing" performance from Katie Breen and ran at @TheMACBelfast earlier this year.

@r0bwatson The orchestration for Something’s Coming ‘21 was amazing. When, I think, the brass enters after “gonna be great” a real layer of energy is injected into the song. As it should be.

[Simon Fallaha @simonfallaha]

@CinemaTweets1 Schindler, Close Encounters and West Side ‘21 are my top three.

[Simon Fallaha @simonfallaha]

@dgboro @JazzH3121 @ccfcfan Lack of squad depth, injuries to key men at the wrong times and mentality were all factors.

[Simon Fallaha @simonfallaha]

@danamalt Another instance, and there have been many this season, where I entirely agree with you Dana.

[Simon Fallaha @simonfallaha]

@AyresomeGates You are right. I was numbed rather than devastated as I know that performance didn’t warrant a win. For all Boro’s huffing and puffing there was no end product.

[Simon Fallaha @simonfallaha]

@ericc1962 @untypicalboro We did. I’ve seen this Boro script play out this way too many times - that being, we were betrayed by a lack of depth in the squad, the wrong kind of injuries, and things that weren’t “supposed” to happen. Like Rob Edwards moving on just weeks into his tenure.

[Simon Fallaha @simonfallaha]

@untypicalboro I had deja vu along these lines too. And the exact same feeling of numbness now. What I do feel though is that we performed considerably better at Wembley this time.

[Simon Fallaha @simonfallaha]

@untypicalboro Felt like the story of our season.

#Theatre #Review at #SiArtsNI - Where We Bury The Bones.

The @dumbworldltd and @KilkennyArts co-production, staged at @LyricBelfast earlier this year, is "experimental, eloquent, eclectic and understated... a feast of aesthetic admiration".

@ChrisBennett84 @Boro I felt like I needed it too. A great season.

[Simon Fallaha @simonfallaha]

The tale of #Boro’s season, or many a Boro season, tonight at St Mary’s - a terrific start but ran out of steam, with the thinness of the squad, injuries to key men and at least one unlucky break. But much to be proud of. #UTB

[Simon Fallaha @simonfallaha]

@danamalt Same.

@_jonnyb1 He is.

[Simon Fallaha @simonfallaha]

@Craigyrobbo81 @justcalledtosay I still remember seeing Fry for the first time away to Preston back in '15. I liked the look of him straight away. I saw someone who looked like a natural successor to Dani Ayala when the time came. And yesterday he was astonishingly good.

[Simon Fallaha @simonfallaha]

@Smithy_MFC84 This. After the way the second half went I would have taken a draw but it does read like an opportunity missed.
