Roscommon Arts Centre are delighted to welcome the Oliver Award winning theatre team that is Pat Kinevane and Fishamble: The New Play Company to their stage with their new play BEFORE on Thursday 11th April at 8pm. This is the team that created theatrical masterpieces such as Forgotten, Underneath and the Oliver Award-winning Silent.
Before is a new play with much music, set in Clery’s of Dublin, on the very day this iconic department store shuts – for good. Pontius is inside, trying to choose a gift for his estranged daughter, whom he hasn’t seen for almost 20 years. He will meet her in an hour. This father’s journey is both beautiful and strange, from the isolation of his Midlands home, to the madness of O’Connell Street. Some folk are impossible to buy for…
Pat Kinevane has worked in Irish theatre for over 30 years and his trilogy of ‘Forgotten’, ‘Underneath’ and the Olivier Award-Winning ‘Silent’ looks set to become a successful quartet with his latest offering, ‘Before’. He is a performer who will have you captivated from start to finish. In 2016 Pat won a Laurence Oliver Award in London for his Outstanding Achievement as an Actor and Writer and he shared this award with Jim Culleton, Fishambles Artistic Director who has been integral to the Production and Direction of Pat’s solo shows.
Fishamble is an internationally acclaimed Irish theatre company, dedicated to the discovery, development and production of new work. In 2018 they celebrated thirty years of new plays in Ireland through its many productions and extensive development programme. It is at the heart of new writing in Ireland.
