Sean McGinley to appear at special pre-Allingham event before heading Stateside
The actor recently pulled out of an upcoming Allingham Festival appearance after securing the part of Hugh in an off-Broadway production of Brian Friel's Translations
There is good news for those who were disappointed that actor Sean McGinley would not be appearing at this year's Allingham Festival.
It has been announced that the Ballyshannon man will attend a special pre-special event before heading to the US.
A spokesperson for the Allingham Festival took to social media on Thursday evening and said: "Just over a week ago we had to share the disappointing news that Sean McGinley would not be able to be with us during this year's Allingham Festival as he would be on stage off-Broadway. This evening we have much better news.
"Despite the fact that he will obviously have a very busy few weeks before leaving for New York, Sean has very kindly agreed to come to Ballyshannon to help us give an early launch to the 2023 programme.
"Notice is short so please help spread the word – Wednesday, September 13 is the date to mark in your diary. Exact time and venue will be announced next week.
"Don't miss this opportunity to hear Sean recall his early days in Pettigo and Ballyshannon before taking the stage in Galway. Which stars of world theatre and cinema will he recall? Richard Harris or Stephen Rea? Martin Scorsese or Sam Shepard? Garry Hynes or Jim Sheridan? We can't wait to find out."
Further details of this special event will be available shortly.
