Una Crawford O'Brien Will Bring Her Show to Cork as Part of Nationwide Tour
Halcyon Days will be showing at The Everyman, Cork, from March 21-March 23.
Soap star Una Crawford O'Brien who plays Renee Phelan in the RTE show Fair City is currently getting ready to embark on a nationwide tour. The Carrigstown star will be playing the lead role in the critically acclaimed hit show Halcyon Days which will be showing The Everyman, Cork, from March 21-March 23, as part of a 10 theatre tour across Ireland. O'Brien will star in the show alongside actor Barry McGovern known for his award-winning one-man Beckett shows.
Halcyon Days is written by Irish playwright Deirdre Kinahan and is a hilarious and poignant story, set in a nursing home, that dramatises the emerging friendship between Patricia played by Crawford O'Brien and Sean played by McGovern. As the pair negotiate their failing health, a combative and charming friendship begins to blossom.
The show is directed by Joe Devlin of Directions Out Theatre Company and speaking ahead of the national tour Devlin remarked: "Halcyon days is a play about hope. Filled with unexpected surprises the show explores the importance of companionship in life as we grow older. It is a play about staying positive despite the odds. The message is that no matter how hopeless a situation might seem we are always capable of love, laughter, and of future meaning."
Halcyon Days will be showing at The Everyman, Cork, from March 21-March 23. Tickets start at €22.
