Backstage Theatre Group will hold an open reading of “Sive” this evening.
The reading is in preparation for auditions for their upcoming production of John B Keane's play.
Written in 1959, Sive is an Irish classic and one of the nation's best loved plays.
It's a story about a battle of generations, a country in flux, exploitation, greed, love and tragedy all told with John B's lyrical dialogue and great Irish humour.
In the play Nana and Mena bicker and provoke one another in the small smoky cottage where they live with Sive and Mena’s husband, Mike.
While Nana dotes on her orphaned granddaughter, Sive, Mena plots to marry the young girl off to an old local farmer for the promise of land and a chance to escape from poverty.
Backstage Theatre Group's open reading of the play will be held in Backstage Theatre today, Tuesday, December 6 at 8pm.
The play will be staged in Backstage Theatre March 30, 32 and April 1.
It will be directed by professional director Charlie McGuinness.
All are welcome to the reading.
