The cast also includes Vincent Dowling, Christopher Joseph Jones and Aidan Redmond.

 

 

"Gripping drama ... [Antoine O'] Flaharta's concisely compelling tale, directed by Kevin Collins ... the primary secret of the excellence of Collins' production is probably the extraordinarily apt casting. Veteran Dublin actor Vincent Dowling, who served for a time as Artistic Director of the Abbey Theatre has been lured out of semi-retirement ... to play Pat, and the result is nothing short of exemplary ... Aidan Redmond, an imposing actor with a remarkably powerful stage presence, matches Dowling note for note as the dangerously unstable John ... Christopher Joseph Jones as the sightless Dan and Paul Nugent as Tom are totally credible and even surprisingly moving, adding tremendously to the overall effectiveness of Collins' strong staging." Joseph Hurley, The Irish Echo
