Itâs morning in California for Colm TóibÃn, with sun streaming in the window; Garry Hynes is in Dublin as the dullish day ends. Technology enabling the conversation will also allow streaming of Druid Theatreâs latest project, Boland: Journey of a Poet, a new theatrical production about poet Eavan Boland, edited by TóibÃn and directed by Hynes, towards the end of April, one year after Bolandâs death.
Their locations are serendipitously appropriate, as Bolandâs life and work had one foot in Stanford and one in suburban Dublin. The production explores the mind and imagination of one of Irelandâs great poets, melds her life and her work, as she did herself, âin the large, uncharted space between the lyrical and the politicalâ as TóibÃn describes.
The latest documentary from Pat Collins â one of our nationâs greatest filmmakers â which was well received at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2019, arrives just a week after Jessica Sarah Rinlandâs frighteningly austere Those That, at a Distance, Resemble Another.

The picture is a study of the great American folklorist of the title. The dauntingly intelligent, impressively lucid academic â a son of the south, raised on civil war battlefields â began by recording the music of the Appalachians and surrounding areas (fans of the legendary ethnomusicologist Alan Lomax will sense some similarities).
