- The Live Poetry Jukebox will be in Forestside Shopping Centre between 2pm and 5pm on Saturday 23. Pop £2 in the slot and one of Fringe Benefits Theatre Company’ actors will perform your favourite poem.

Expect “physical theatre, acrobatics, juggling, dance, music and puppetry” in Cultúrlann at 3pm on Sunday 24. (Ages 4+, £5/£4)
- Room For One is a “short comedy with a cast of seven young people from West Belfast which is based on a chance meeting between a [pyjama clad] girl and a young Polish man at a Falls Road taxi stand” and examines the cultural shock is seeing people walking around in their pyjamas during the day.
