KILDARE ARTS SCENE: “From a Low and Quiet Sea” novel adapted for stage

Riverbank Arts Centre is delighted to announce that Decadent Theatre Company Presents From a Low and Quiet Sea is coming to their stage on Thursday 8th and Friday 9th June as part of a national tour.

Adapted for the stage from D

onal Ryan’s acclaimed, Booker Prize-nominated novel and directed by Andrew Flynn.

Four souls. Each searching for something they have lost. Each trying to make sense of the road they have chosen.

For Farouk, family is all. He has protected his wife and daughter from the war. If they stay, they will lose their freedom. If they flee, they will lose all they have known of home, for a faraway land across the merciless sea.

Lampy is distracted. He’s with Eleanor, but she’s not Chloe. His granddad’s sniping jokes are getting on his wick. And on top of all that, he has a bus to drive; those old folks from the home can’t wait all day.

For John, the game was always the lifeblood coursing through his veins. Manipulating people for enrichment, for enjoyment, for spite. But it was never enough. The lifeblood is slowing down, will God listen?

Florence’s son is acting differently which forces her to look for answers, but she is afraid of the truth that lies within herself. The mother, the refugee, the penitent, the dreamer.

Four characters, four lost souls, searching for a version of home.

From a Low and Quiet Sea will be performed at Riverbank Arts Centre on Thursday 8th & Friday 9th June at 8pm.

Tickets are priced €20/€18 and can be booked through the Box Office, either in person or by telephone on 045 448327 Monday to Friday 9.30am-5pm (closed for lunch 2-2.30) and Saturday 10am-1pm. Tickets can also be booked 24/7 on www.riverbank.ie
