Swansong - Children's Theatre in the woods

An old man is digging a hole for his cello in the forest floor.

A young boy, violin in hand, bursts upon him.

...the boy is on a journey

that he didn’t choose

to a place he has never been

Barnstorm Theatre in Kilkenny is delighted to present the World Premier of its captivating new production SWANSONG for schools in the magical Phoenix Theatre installation in Paulstown Community Centre, Co Kilkenny, from 25th May to 10th June. The play will be performed for two class groups at a time.

SWANSONG is a heartfelt and comic exploration of a once in a lifetime encounter between two strangers. This new play for young audiences by Shane O’Reilly playfully and sensitively engages with the mythical notion of the swansong, a final gesture or performance.
