Written by Juliet Jenkin and directed by Roy Sargent, 'The Boy Who Fell from the Roof', from the South African Artscape Productions, is here as part of the 4th International Dublin Gay Theatre Festival. Set in Cape Town, it's a story of race, love and death. Simon, the boy in the title, and his best friend Georgina, are teenagers whose relationship is threatened when Simon meets someone else - Leonard. 'The Boy Who Fell from the Roof' is at Smock Alley Theatre in Dublin until Saturday.

'The Gathering' is the title of the new novel from Anne Enright. When the nine surviving members of the Hegarty family assemble in Dublin for the funeral of brother Liam - as often happens at such gatherings - family history gets an airing. And the Hegarty family history is one distorted with dark secrets and twisted memory. 'The Gathering' is published by Jonathan Cape at £12.99 sterling.

The artist Sean Scully spent the summer of 2005 on the Aran Islands, a place well known for its landscape and in particular its dry-stone walls. In a new exhibition at the Kerlin Gallery in Dublin we see Scully's photographs of those walls, straight on and with little fuss - things already extraordinary in themselves and clearly of interest to Scully. So for anyone interested in Scully's work these images are bound to provide, at the very least, an insight into the famous compositions which have made Scully one of the world's leading painters. The exhibition, with an accompanying book with text by Colm Tóibín, is simply called 'Walls of Aran'.
