At once humorous and heartrending, Mother of All the Behans is steeped in Irish culture and promises to be a highly entertaining evening.
In this masterfully executed one-woman show, Imelda May brings to life the remarkable story of the witty raconteur, singer and rebel Kathleen Behan.
Inspired by songs and stories passed down through generations, May’s performance will take you on a journey through Kathleen’s early years living in an orphanage and later, her active involvement in Dublin’s fight against British rule. Uncover vivid retellings of her experience as a republican during the Easter Rising, the War of Independence and the Civil War, along with personal anecdotes of living as a working-class family in Dublin.
“The whole makes for a highly entertaining evening, with the audience clearly enjoying both story and song…the singer’s voice: clear and pure, characterful, humorous, by turns powerful and gentle…May, thrown in at the deep end in her first theatrical role, displays comic timing and an eye for bringing characters to life, often humorously.” – The Irish Times
