Open Rehearsal

Come Dance With Me in Ireland: A Pilgrimage to Yeats Country

Featuring Patrick Ball, Celtic Harp

 A new play with music

by Moore Institute fellows Patrick Ball and Peter Glazer in the O’Donoghue Centre for Drama, Theatre and Performance 24th of May (Thursday) at 12pm.

Please join us for an open rehearsal of this work in progress. Patrick will be performing Act 1 of the play, which combines storytelling, poetry, and traditional harp tunes played on the cláirseach, the brass wire strung harp of bardic times. We will also be showing images by Galway photographer Damien Stenson, which will accompany the show in its final form.

Come Dance With Me In Ireland tells the story of an older couple returning to Ireland after emigrating to the US in their 20s, and finding themselves again in the landscape and poetry of W.B. Yeats.
