KILDARE ARTS: McCabe’s Beckett-esque one-man show comes to the Riverbank

Fight2Flight Theatre, in association with Smock Alley Theatre, presents Country and Irish by Patrick McCabe at Riverbank Arts Centre on Wednesday, May 10 at 8pm.

Peter Gowen takes the lead in Patrick McCabe’s Beckett-esque one-man show.

Meet Donie Burris who overcomes his troubles (which include his treacherous girlfriend, his overbearing mum and the Midford Mafia) by imagining himself as “The star of his own gangster movie”.

Country and Irish is essentially the story of a man at the end of his tether who sets out to tell a story like no other; none you’ve ever heard before.

Directed by Conor Hanratty, McCabe’s triumphant theatrical display has been picking up rave reviews and great enthusiastic audience response.

Country and Irish by Patrick McCabe will take place at Riverbank Arts Centre on Wednesday 10 May at 8pm.

Tickets are priced €18/€16 and can be booked through the Box Office, either in person or by telephone on 045 448327 Monday to Friday 9.30am-5pm (closed for lunch 2-2.30) and Saturday 10am-1pm. Tickets can also be booked 24/7 on www.riverbank.ie
