Last night I took in the play ‘Setanta Murphy’ at The New Theatre in Templebar.
The play stars Luke Griffin and Garrett Keogh, the writer and director.
The story is about the relationship between the nephew and the uncle, about their father/brother and his death, and the impact of that upon the both of them. There are many funny moments, also very touching ones. The second act of the play deals with the uncle being in the hospital after a medical emergency, and the end game of life. I was rather affected by the play having seen my mother go through that stage.
The play is well written and performed, and I recommend seeing it while its on, through October 24th.
The theatre is in back of Connolly Books at 43 East Essex street.
This is a short video clip about the play:
