Entertaining Sligo
BEFORE
From the team that brought you Forgotten, Underneath and the Olivier Award-winning Silent, Before is a new play with much music, set in Clerys of Dublin, on the very day this iconic department store shuts - for good. Pontius is inside, trying to choose a gift for his estranged daughter, whom he hasn’t seen for almost 20 years. He will meet her in an hour. This father’s journey is both beautiful and strange, from the isolation of his Midlands home, to the madness of O’Connell Street. Some folk are impossible to buy for…
In 2006, Fishamble: The New Play Company produced Pat Kinevane’ first solo play, Forgotten and together they started a remarkable journey which would see them create an outstanding trilogy of work which has already been critically acclaimed both in Ireland and across the world. Forgotten was followed in 2011 by a second play, Silent (which won the team an Olivier award) and by Underneath in 2014, all three written and performed by Pat Kinevane and directed by Jim Culleton.
Now the team has reunited to bring this new work to the stage. Once again produced by Fishamble, written and performed by Pat Kinevane and directed by Jim Culleton, Before will premiere next month.
This premiere tour is presented in association with the Strollers Touring Network and will include Visual Carlow, Source Arts Centre Tipperary, Watergate Theatre Kilkenny, Hawk’s Well Theatre Sligo, Siamsa Tire Tralee, Solstice Arts Centre Navan, Linenhall Arts Centre Castlebar, Draíocht Blanchardstown, Belltable Limerick and Riverbank Arts Centre Newbridge.
Catch ‘BEFORE’ at the Hawk’s Well on 15 November.
