Tuesday Night Theatre will perform Fishamble Theatre Company ‘King’ by Pat Kinevane in The Source Arts Centre Thurles.
The show takes place on Tuesday, October 22, at 8pm.
Tickets for the event cost €21.
'King' tells the story of Luther, a man from Cork named in honour of his Granny Bee Baw’s hero, Dr Martin Luther King Jr.
Luther only leaves his apartment for essential journeys, and to perform as an Elvis impersonator.
The play explores prejudice, privilege, and resilience, as Luther struggles to live life to the full.
Fishamble’s 'King' by Pat Kinevane opened in Ireland in 2023 and transferred to Dance Base as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe where it was nominated for the Mental Health Foundation award and named a Pick of the Fringe.
Fishamble and Pat Kinevane have previously collaborated on 'Forgotten,' 'Silent,' 'Underneath,' and 'Before,' which have won major international awards including Olivier, Fringe First, Herald Archangel, Adelaide Fringe, and Helen Hayes awards.
They have been called "brilliant," by The Irish Times, "extraordinary," by The New York Times, "stunning," by The Scotsman, "dazzling," by The Guardian, and "mesmerising," by The Sydney Morning Herald.
Now, Fishamble and Pat Kinevane, under the direction of Jim Culleton, and with music by Denis Clohessy, return with this very special fifth solo play.
Pat Kinevane is a native of Cobh, Co Cork.
He has worked as an actor in Ireland for the past 21 years, performing with most of leading companies including TEAM Educational Theatre Company, The Abbey Theatre, Druid, The Gaiety, Passion Machine and Fishamble: The New Play Company.
