HUMOURS OF BANDON PERFECT NIGHT FOR IRISH DANCING ENTHUSIASTS
The Humours of Bandon is a must for those with an interest in the highs and lows of Irish Dancing and all those hours waiting around in parochial halls around the country.
It is a play written and performed by Margeret McAuliffe and presented by Fishamble: The New Play Company and comes to the Droichead Arts Centre on September 14.
On the eve of the Irish Open championship, we meet Annie, a 16 year old Dubliner, as she charts us through the various successes and disappointments of her Irish Dancing life. We share her mind numbing commitment and burning desire to win the Irish Open title. Will she win and, if so, in what way?
From the confines of every parochial hall in Ireland, Irish Dancing champions are churned out at a massive rate. Medals and cups build up in drawing rooms and Riverdance swells a national pride, but the public aren’t privy to the blood, sweat and tears that pave the way to the first place podium.
The Humours of Bandon is a coming of age story, full of heart, humour and wisdom, for anyone who had a childhood passion that threatened to overwhelm their life.
Tickets from the Droichead.
