20th Anniversary Production LEDWIDGE Opens this Week at The New Theatre
"He shall not hear the bittern cry
In the wild sky, where he is lain"
A call to arms. War Poet Francis Ledwidge (Ethan Dillon) is torn between his love for Shivvie (Katie O'Kelly), and his friend and confidante, Ellie (Amy O'Dwyer). In spite of their fears, he enlists in Captain Dunsany's (Ian Meehan) regiment, and is dispatched to Suvla Bay.
Excelling as a sniper, Ledwidge distinguishes himself at Gallipoli, but the poet remains conflicted.
BBC Stewart Parker Award winning writer Gerard Humphreys' 'LEDWIDGE', explores the poet's personal conflict during World War I and his early life as a trade union activist in a class ridden society on the eve of revolution. 'LEDWIDGE' presents its subject in the context of his art and politics, bringing to life the adventurous spirit of Ireland's greatest war poet.
This play will celebrate 100 years since Ledwidge's death and 20 years presenting new writing by The New Theatre.
Dates: Previews - February 27th & 28th
Production dates - March 1st - 11th, 7.30pm Tickets: €16 (€12.50 concession)
