Irish Rep Extends Keane's 'Sive' thru November 25
The Irish Repertory Theatre (132 West 22nd St.) is proud to announce their production of Sive by John B. Keane is extended to November 25. The New York premiere of Sive, directed by Ciarán O'Reilly opened on Thursday, September 27.
"A rich and riveting drama, John B. Keane's Sive tells the tale of a beautiful young schoolgirl forced into an arranged marriage with a rich and lecherous old man. This hard hitting depiction of a sexually charged world was a scandalous affair when it was first seen in 1959. Against the backdrop of 1950's rural Ireland, the play is colorfully populated with traveling tinkers, bitter housewives and scheming matchmakers," explain press notes, "From the same vivid and creative mind that penned The Field and The Matchmaker, Sive was Keane's first play and it introduced the country to a powerful theatrical voice that influenced a generation of Ireland's modern playwrights."
The cast includes James Barry, Donie Carroll, Terry Donnelly, Patrick Fitzgerald, Christopher Joseph Jones, Aidan Redmond, Wrenn Schmidt, Mark Thornton and Fiana Toibin.
Set design is by Charles Corcoran, costumes design is by Martha Hally, lighting design is by Jason Lyons, wig and hair design by Robert-Charles Vallance, dialects Stephen Gabis, casting by Laura Maxwell-Scott, April Ann Kline Stage Manager, Janice M. Brandine Assistant Stage Manager. Charlotte Moore, Artistic Director, Ciarán O'Reilly, Producing Director, Patrick A. Kelsey, Managing Director.
