Sebastian Barry's Boss Grady's Boys has been one of the most acclaimed new Irish plays of recent years. Centred around two brothers in their later years, Mick and Josey, living alone on their forty acre hill farm on the Cork-Kerry border, it explores through their own private language and dreams the pattern of their lives. The play examines how they cope with the confines of their lives and resist any easy despair, to bear each other in the face of their own aging.
Boss Grady's Boys was first performed in the Peacock Theatre in Dublin in 1988, to which it returned, as well as touring Ireland, in 1989.The production opening at the Gaiety in September will be directed by Jim Culleton, produced by Noel Pearson and the two brothers, Mick and Josey will be played by Pat Shortt and Tom Hickey respectively. Other members of the cast will include Gina Moxley, Maria McDermottroe, Donagh Deeney and Don Wycherley . The production will be designed and lit by Paul Keogan.Whether you've got past experience writing about theater or just starting, the BroadwayWorld Community offers a unique opportunity to become a champion for your local arts community, helping raise awareness of local offerings and adding another local voice to the conversation at a time arts coverage is shrinking in the press across the continent.
