Tickets are now on sale for our first piece of theatre this autumn from The London Irish Theatre Company presenting Kavanagh, written by Tom O’Brien and directed by John Dunne.

A two-handed exploration of the life and times of Irish poet Patrick Kavanagh (1904-1967) as seen through the eyes of Hilda Moriarty (later to become Hilda O’Malley), the inspiration of Kavanagh famous, On Raglan Road.

Patrick Kavanagh was born in the village of Inniskeen, Co Monaghan, in 1904 and is now regarded as Ireland’s most important poet after WB Yeats. The son of a shoemaker and small farmer, he moved to Dublin in his mid thirties where he lived in poverty for most of his life, surviving on handouts, the occasional bit of journalism, but mostly being supported by his younger brother, Peter.

Tuesday,  November 3rd at 8pm at The Mall Arts Centre.
