Ancient Rain beguiles our perceptions of the cyclical nature of time, life and death using impressionistic theatrical song cycles based on narratives from poems written by Heaney, Yeats and Meehan.
These two game-changing artists inhabit a daisy chain of men and women, a series of individual lives and characters that coalesce into a tapestry of interconnected souls.
Musically driven by Feargal Murray (Ireland) and directed by Chris Drummond (Australia), Ancient Rain will be performed at the Olympia Theatre, Dublin on September 29th as part of the Dublin Theatre Festival, before running in Melbourne from October 12th - 15th. It will then play in 6 Australian cities in 2016/17, followed by international touring.
Produced by Far and Away Productions.
