Fishamble celebrates 10 years of Silent by Pat Kinevane with an international online tour of a new filmed performance
10 years ago Silent, the story of homeless McGoldrig, resonated deeply with audiences in Ireland in the midst of a homelessness and mental health crisis. It went on to tour the world and win an Oliver award. As frighteningly relevant now as it was then, Fishamble marks its 10th anniversary by bringing Silent and Pat Kinevane’s extraordinary performance to audiences around the world with online shows. |
