Photo Flash: First Look at Marty Rea, Garrett Lombar and more in DRUIDMURPHY at the Kennedy Center

The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts presents DruidMurphy October 17–20, 2012 in the Kennedy Center Eisenhower Theater. Told through three of the greatest plays by Tom Murphy including Conversations on a Homecoming on October 17 & 20, A Whistle in the Dark on October 18 & 20, and Famine on October 19 & 20, DruidMurphy is a major celebration of one of Ireland's most respected living dramatists. Directed by Garry Hynes, the DruidMurphy experience allows audience members to see each play individually or the full three- play cycle in one day. DruidMurphy is part of the etcetera! series.  BroadwayWorld has a first look at the production below.

The three plays of DruidMurphy tell the story of Irish emigration; a story both of those who went and those who were left behind. Crossing oceans and spanning decades, DruidMurphy covers the period from the Great Hunger of the 19th century to the 'new' Ireland of the 1970s, exploring what we mean when we call a place home. DruidMurphy has toured Ireland, England, and the United States since May 2012. The Kennedy Center engagement concludes the tour of DruidMurphy.

The cast for the three plays includes Niall Buggy, Edward Clayton, Beth Cooke, Brian Doherty, Gavin Drea, Garrett Lombard, Aaron Monaghan, Marie Mullen, Michael Glenn Murphy, Treasa Ní Mhiolláin, Rory Nolan, John Olohan, Frank O'Sullivan, Isaac O'Sullivan, Marty Rea, and Eileen Walsh.

The creative team includes Francis O'Connor as associate director of design and David Bolger as associate director of movement with costume design by Joan O'Clery, lighting design by Chris Davey, sound design by Gregory Clarke, music by Sam Jackson, dramaturgy by Thomas Conway, and casting direction by Maureen Hughes.
