Tarry Flynn in An Tain Town Hall Dundalk
2/3 Febuary Box Office 042 9392919
The Iontas Theatre proudly presents Tarry Flynn by the acclaimed director and writer Conall Morrison.
A new production of this award-winning adaptation of Patrick Kavanagh’s novel, ‘Tarry Flynn’, will be presented at An Tain
This production of ‘Tarry Flynn’ is extraordinarily ambitious in scale and content. Scenes merge into each other, characters transform themselves into animals and the whole seething tumult of a riotous imagination is on display. The play is a moving evocation of rural Irish life at a time when life and the land went hand in hand
Poet/Farmer Tarry reads Byron, and dreams of romance with Mary Reilly. When we first meet him, Tarry is 27 but has never so much as kissed a girl. When female attention does come his way, he is ill-at-ease, struggling to reconcile his fevered longings with the guilt and inhibition of his upbringing.With his nose in a book, his head in the clouds, his hand on a spade and his heart yearning for love, he is not on the same page as his fellow farmers. Follow his adventures in this lively and engaging production on stage at An Tain.
Directed by Aidan McQuillan and produced by the Iontas Theatre Initiative everything about the production is larger than life –– all cast members are dedicated to capturing the cadences of Kavanagh’s enduring portrayal of a rural community and the landscape they inhabit.
