The Abbey Theatre and The Lyric Theatre’s co-production of The Shadow of a Gunman is running on the Abbey Stage in Dublin until the 1st of August.
Wayne Jordan’s production, starring Mark O’Halloran, Amy McAllister and David Ganly, has received an enthusiastic reception.
“High theatrical energy is kept aloft by the colourful parade of O’Casey’s tenement dwellers, and equally the parade of O’Casey’s brilliant writing talent.”
“Nothing is more absurd in O’Casey’s 1923 play than the notion that art couldbe indifferent to politics. Set just three years earlier, itsnear-vaudevillian succession of intrusions leading towards something more shattering, was first performed during a vicious Civil War. It was a dangerous weapon itself, a tragedy played for laughs.”
The Abbey Theatre has announced its forthcoming co production of The Shadow of a Gunman with the Lyric Theatre Belfast. The production will run from Friday, 12 June 2015 to Saturday, 1 August 2015.
The production will be directed by Wayne Jordan and feature Mark O’Halloran as Donal Davoren, David Ganly as Seamus Shields and Amy McAllister as Minnie Powell.
