Seanachai Premieres Scenes From the Big Picture

- Sep 4, 2008
For the second year running, Seanachai teams with the Storefront Theatre to showcase another large cast production, this time set in the North of Ireland. With only a murmur heard of the Troubles that simmer under the surface, McCafferty's 'marvelous, engrossing, ensemble play' smashes the big picture into vivid snapshots of a single day of contemporary Belfast life. Originally presented by London's Royal National Theatre in 2003, this tale of 'lust, loss, hope, anger, grief, tenacity, old age [and] young fury' makes its Midwest premiere under the splendid direction of Scott Cummins.
