  ABOUT THE FILM 
  "Interstellar" is a 2014 science fiction film directed by Christopher Nolan. Set in a dystopian future where Earth faces ecological collapse, it follows Joseph Cooper, a former NASA pilot turned farmer, who is recruited for a mission to find a new habitable planet for humanity. Cooper and his team travel through a wormhole near Saturn, encountering distant planets, black holes, and time dilation. The film explores themes of love, sacrifice, and survival, blending scientific theories with deep emotional drama. It examines humanity's resilience in the face of extinction and the potential of space exploration to secure the future. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “TARS, the robot in the film, was not created using CGI but was a practical puppet controlled and voiced on set by Bill Irwin, who was digitally erased from the footage. Irwin also operated CASE, though Josh Stewart’s voice was dubbed over his.” 
    
  “Anne Hathaway faced hypothermia while filming the scenes set in Iceland, as her astronaut suit was open during the cold water sequences.” 
    
  “Dr. Kip Thorne famously won a scientific bet against Stephen Hawking on a point related to astrophysics, which led to Hawking subscribing to Penthouse Magazine for a year. This bet was dramatized in the film "The Theory of Everything" (2014).” 
    
  “The placement of the wormhole near Saturn was a reference to "2001: A Space Odyssey" (1968), as Stanley Kubrick had initially planned to have part of his film set near Saturn before abandoning it due to visual effects limitations at the time.”

  This fully illustrated and authorised history marks fifty years of one of Ireland's most ground-breaking and successful theatrical ensembles. Founded in 1975, Druid is a touring theatre company, anchored in the West of Ireland and looking to the world.
  Druid began as a bold idea: to create Ireland's first professional theatre company outside of Dublin. There were few resources with which to achieve such an undertaking in the West of Ireland in 1975. Through sheer dedication, and with the support of the Galway community, founders Garry Hynes, Marie Mullen and Mick Lally – alongside a protean ensemble of actors, crew and supporters – made this bold idea a reality. That reality has since become an international success story of extraordinary dimensions.
  In this comprehensive history of the company, Patrick Lonergan weaves together decades of personal stories, archival material, anecdotes, memories and performances into a fascinating and illuminating portrait of one of the most vital institutions in Ireland's theatrical landscape.

  When you sit down at a play, movie, or concert—or even in front of the TV or scrolling on your phone—you are taking part in one of the oldest and most mysterious forms of human behavior. Being part of an audience is an age-old experience that we all crave, one that has evolved from amphitheaters to screens. Right This Way is a pop history of audiences through the ages. Playbill editor Robert Viagas unfolds the unique aspects of what he calls “audiencing” with stories from the age of the Greeks to the world of Zoom. He walks through the different types of audiences and the history of their responses, what science has to say about how our brains respond to what they see and the reactions of the people around them, and why, during COVID-19, people risked a deadly virus to be part of a crowd. Right This Way explores what the audience experience brings us and how it may evolve in the 21st century.
