The Game

by

Theatre is a notoriously tough industry to crack, but it seems you don't have to be the next Benedict Cumberbatch to make your mark on the stage. The creators of a new show debuting at this year's Dublin Theatre Festival are looking for help… from the men of Ireland.

THEATREclub need men from all walks of life to take part in their show, The Game, a new work they hope will redress misogyny by exploring sex work and prostitution in Ireland in a brand new way. 

The show runs from October 6 – 11 in the Cube at the Temple Bar's Project Arts Centre, an intimate venue with a capacity of 70 – 80 people. Each volunteer would only be required to give up a few hours of their time, with five new participants taking to the stage each evening to play "The Game."

The best part? There are no lines to learn, no script, and whatever happens happens. Each volunteer is "doing this to be part of an event – a symbolic act – that calls us all to consider, to think and to review," THEATREclub explains. The men involved won't have to discuss their own experiences, instead they'll be playing out the stories of other men. 

The subculture of prostitution in Ireland might seem like a heavy topic to base a play on, but many of THEATREclub's past works have dealt with similarly tough issues, like 2010's critically acclaimed Heroin, which examined the social history of the drug in this country, and 2013's History, telling the story of the residents of St Michael's Estate in Inchicore.

If you know someone who would be interested in getting involved or simply want to find out more, contact info@theatreclub.ie ASAP.

Jayceon Taylor, also known as The Game, has been arraigned and charged with a misdemeanour count of assault and battery, as well as one felony count of making criminal threats.

The charge is the result of an incident that occurred last March when the rapper allegedly got into a fight with an off-duty police officer during a basketball game.

Mr Taylor, who is one of the most notable protégés of hip hop superstar Dr Dre, could face up to three years imprisonment if he is convicted.

The prosecution claims that during the basketball match The Game committed a hard foul on the police officer and soon after “struck him and later threatened to kill him.”

The Hate it or Love it rapper has also just been ordered to pay approximately €180,000 in damages to a former nanny who sued him in what may be the first Instagram-related libel case.

The 35-year-old hip hop artist reportedly went on a rant about his children’s former babysitter, Karen Monroe, claiming that she screamed at his children, had sex with her boyfriend in his children’s room and a number of other terrible offences.

Ms Monroe’s attorney claimed that millions of people saw the post, causing her client to suffer huge amounts of verbal abuse as well as causing her to lose her job as child minder to singer Kelis.

The Game will make his first court appearance on Monday to answer to the assault, battery and making criminal threat charges.

It’s no secret that Kim K is a bit promiscuous – let’s face it, that’s how she became a household name in the first place.

But, when a good friend of her fiancé Kanye West claims he slept with the 33-year-old beauty, we can’t help but be a little thrown.

According to reports over the weekend, The Game has boasted about sleeping with the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star in an early demo for Ray J’s song I Hit It First.

He refers to the fiancée of West at least twice in the song and at some point he even says he will show people how to really ‘drive that ghost,’ which is reference to one of Kim’s cars.

When The Game was asked whether or not they dated, he responded with “A little bit. A long time ago.”

“Adult wrestling or adult cuddles?” the interviewer persisted.

“You know what it was. We went to McDonalds twice. Pulled up in a drive thru,” answered The Game – very classy Kim.

We don’t think Kanye’s going to take this very well.
