Dynamic Pricing
ARC’s policy is to set ticket prices based on demand, like budget airlines, which means we set a price when the event goes on sale and then sometimes put the price up or down depending on how the show is selling. Usually, the price will increase as we get closer to the event, so it is advantageous to book in advance, although sometimes we will put special offers on and reduce the price. Our website will always show the current ticket price.
ARC’s theatre and dance performances are priced on a Pay What You Decide basis, which means you don’t have to pay until after you have seen a show!
We want to encourage more people to come and see shows at ARC, more often. Pay What You Decide not only allows you to pay what you can afford, rather than a fixed ticket price, but also removes the financial risk of buying a ticket for a show in advance without knowing whether you are going to enjoy it or not.
Tickets are available to book in advance as usual, but there is no obligation for you to pay until after you have seen the show. You can then decide on a price which you think is suitable based on your experience, which means if you haven’t enjoyed it at all, you don’t have to pay anything.
All money collected will help ARC pay the artists who have performed, and we therefore hope you will give generously.
Please ensure you have arrived and collected your tickets 15 minutes before the show starts in order to secure your seats. At the end of the show, you can decide what to pay, either by cash on the door or by card at the Box Office.

Winner of Best Irish Film at Dublin Film Festival and nominated for 11 NIFTA awards
Capturing a year in the life of a rural, lakeside community in late 1970s Ireland, That They May Face The Rising Sun is a sensitive and beautifully realised adaptation of the last novel by John McGahern. Joe and Kate have returned from London to live and work in a small, close-knit community in rural Ireland, close to where Joe grew up. He’s a writer, she’s an artist who retains part ownership of a London gallery. Now embedded in a remote lakeside setting, the drama of a year in their lives and those of their neighbours unfolds through the rituals of work, play, and the passing seasons. A delicate, meditative exploration of ritual, community bonds, and the question of how best to live.

Information about screenings with descriptive subtitles
Descriptive subtitles, sometimes referred to as subtitles for D/deaf and hard-of-hearing people or captions, transcribe dialogue and relevant aspects of the soundtrack, including music and sound effects, attempting to give D/deaf and hard-of-hearing viewers an equal experience to those who are able to watch films without descriptive subtitles. Descriptive subtitles would include speech identifiers and descriptive elements such as [door slamming] and [kettle whistling].

Language
There is use of strong language (‘f**k’). Milder terms include ‘frigging’, ‘shite’, ‘bloody’, ‘arse’, ‘Jesus’, ‘damn’ and ‘Christ’.
Discrimination
There are brief references to an elderly man having faced a lack of opportunity in life because his parents were unmarried. Such discrimination is clearly criticised.
Injury detail
There are undetailed images of a dead body after a person dies off-screen of natural causes. Another scene contains brief images of human bones as an ancient grave is unearthed.
Theme
There are mild upsetting scenes related to death and bereavement. A man lashes out verbally at his friend following the loss of a loved one. After an elderly man dies off screen, we watch two of his friends gently wash and dress the body. The issue is handled in a sensitive manner, and the visual detail is discreet.
