This Friday, May 24, Friars’ Gate Theatre are delighted to be hosting Where The Willow Meets The Ash, the much anticipated sequel to Malachy McKenna’s hugely successful and multi award winning drama, The Quiet Land.
When the chaotic and easy going bachelor farmer Bobby Hogan gets a visit from a smooth talking Englishman, all sorts of local rivalries and ancient grudges are stirred up.
Who is this mysterious blow-in? What are his intentions regarding the beautiful barmaid Polish Maria?
And, more importantly, what are his plans for Nayshee’s Acres, site of the old hurling pitch and sacred among generations?
Performed by Tom Lawlor, Michael James Ford, Malachy McKenna, Where The Willow Meets The Ash is a serious comedy about stubborn men from the hilarious pen of an outstanding Irish writer. Tickets €15.
