Martin 'Beanz' Warde to bring captivating one man play to Kilkenny
'The Dead House' is coming to Kilkenny
“We are gathered at the dead house. Such a morbid name, I mean, there is still another person alive in that place, my granny. My grandfather’s cold and lifeless body is laid out so that we can all have a final moment to say goodbye."
Set in the west of Ireland, this darkly funny one-man play tells the story of Patrick, a member of the Traveller community who returns home after years of self-imposed exile.
Stepping through the door on the day of his grandfather’s funeral, Patrick uncovers ghosts that have lain undisturbed for years.
The Irish Times described 'The Dead House' as 'a powerful and moving dark comedy that explores complex themes of family, tradition, and self- acceptance'.
"Set in the house of the deceased, the play is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the importance of finding one’s voice and identity."
Martin will be performing in Cleere's Theatre as part of the Kilkenny Arts Festival for three nights (August 10, 11 and 12) at 8pm each night.
