Rehearsed Reading: The Steward Of Christendom >

 

There will be a rehearsed reading of The Steward of Christendom by Sebastian Barry at our South Bank hall on Friday 16th April at 8 pm.

 

This play is a real masterpiece. It established Barry as one of Ireland's most powerful contemporary playwrights. Thomas Dunne, ex-chief superintendent of the Dublin Metropolitan police looks back on his career built during the latter years of Queen Victoria's empire, from a county home for the old  in Baltinglass in 1932. Like King Lear, Dunne tries valiantly to break free of history and himself.

 

There will be wine and soft drinks on sale in the interval, but feel free to bring your own.
