I’m delighted to announce that I will reprise the role of Celine in the Spring Tour of Michael Gallen’s critically acclaimed opera Elsewhere.
This incredible piece, based on the wild, yet true story of the soviet declared inside the walls of the Monaghan Asylum in 1919, premiered at The Abbey during the Covid-19 pandemic. It was a minor miracle that we managed to complete all the performances given the restrictions and the threat of someone getting ill at any moment.
Thankfully, no such clouds hanging over this run.
There are shows in Dublin, Monaghan, Cork and Galway – click the links below to get your tickets. This is a really special show made by an incredible bunch of artists.
A real tour de force.
8 – 9 April at the O’Reilly Theatre, Dublin
12 April at the Íontas Arts Centre, Castleblayney
17 April at Cork Opera House, Cork
24 April at the Town Hall Theatre, Galway

“…riotous carnival dreams, musical warmth and incidental truths…this is a show that needs to be seen and heard–and more than once. It deserves to run and run.”
