That's right, there are still cultural happenings to be had, online and in what passes for the real world these days - below, we've selected a quartet of choice events for your pleasure...
ATTEND THE HEDGE SCHOOL
Hedge School is a virtual homeschool rooted in Ireland that invites people around the world on a collective learning experience to 'find our shared humanity and resource our possibility as global citizens'.

SEE BILL & TED FACE THE MUSIC
Dude! 30 years (!) after their last adventure, Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter reunite for a third Bill & Ted movie, and a most excellent middle-aged time-traveling adventure it is too - watch the first 6 minutes below, and catch the rest at a cinema near you...
GO TO THE GALWAY SUMMER GARDEN FOR THE BIG THINK
That's right - an actual event! A festival of talks and ideas to 'fill you with inspiration, insight, hope and joy' with a killer line-up that includes Panti Bliss, Professor Luke O'Neill, Sinéad Gleeson, Mike McCormack, Elaine Feeney, Patrick Freyne and this parish's own Anna Carey - find out more here.
WATCH MICHAEL SHEEN IN FAITH HEALER
Brian Friel's masterful and haunting play is a kaleidoscopic, ever-shifting exploration of the power of belief, as the contradicting recollections of these three characters seek to reconcile with the past. The Old Vic Theatre's new live-streamed production features the powerhouse trio of Michael Sheen, Indira Varma and David Threlfall - book your virtual seat here.
