Award winning theatre company to kick off busy arts programme at Tipperary festival
Clonmel Junction Arts Festival
The theatre programme at Clonmel Junction Arts Festival kicks off with a staging of Keeping Vigil.
It will be on Friday July 4 at 7pm at Bakers's Bar in Clonmel and is suitable for 14 years and over.
It is a story about three friends who reunite in their hometown on the eve of a funeral to stay awake overnight and keep vigil over the body.
A bittersweet reunion becomes a nostalgic trip down memory lane as libations are poured and stories are retold. But as the night progresses, old tensions resurface and new secrets emerge. Nostalgia inevitably gives way to the present and old ties are tested by an uneasy reckoning with the past – and each other.
Among the fraying loose ends and crumbling half-truths, will this night bring them back together or tear them apart?
A Work in Progress presentation.
