This is the fifth annual productions in our series of the classic plays on the English Syllabus produced by Barnstorm Theatre Company performed in the Watergate Theatre to serve both schools in the region and general audiences.
Previous plays were Translations by Brian Friel in 2016, The Plough and the Stars by Sean O’Casey in 2017, the American classic ALL MY SONS in 2018 and The Playboy of the Western World by JM Synge in 2019 which all proved to be over-whelming successes with schools (some travelling from Dublin and Limerick) and with the general public. The 2022 production Philadelphia, Here I Come! will have a local cast of actors, designed by Harry Harris and directed by Philip Hardy.
Gar O’Donnell, frustrated with the small-town life of Ballybeg, is about to set off for America, not in search of fortune so much as a change of scene. He doesn’t long for an American Dream but escape: from a dysfunctional relationship with his father, from a lost love, from a hundred petty frustrations.
