On the Wire

Our friends at Dance Limerick have asked us to let all the On the Wire fans know about their new show which opens at The Sailor's Home this Thursday, 26th March. "Marble & Bread" is a beautiful new dance theatre piece, conceived and choreographed by Megan Kennedy, inspired by stories from the archives of St Joseph's Hospital in Limerick. Like On the Wire, Marble & Bread will be presented as a promenade performance, so the audience will follow the scenes from room to room in The Sailor's Home. We were lucky enough to see a run through of Marble & Bread on Friday and found it compelling, moving and beautifully performed by a super cast. And that was in the rehearsal space! So it will no doubt be further enhanced when it moves into the beautiful surroundings of The Sailor's Home this week. Performances at 6pm and 8pm on Thurs 26th, Fri 27th and Sat 28th March. Audience gathers at Willie Sexton's Pub, Henry St, before each performance. Space is limited, so we advise advance booking. Tickets €12/€10.
