Read the reviews here.
Described as a "lyricial homage to the people and landscapes that shape our destinies," the part-solo play, part-reflection offers an intimate look at the actor's reflections on his life. Byrne shares memories growing up in a working class family in Dublin and the "theatre of the street" to the pressures of fame and everything comic, dark, and seemingly commonplace in between from his memoir of the same name.
Director Lonny Price helms the production which features scenic and lighting design by Sinéad McKenna, costume design by Joan O’Clery, and music and sound design by Sinéad Diskin.
