The End of the Road

By Gavin Kostick

Fishamble, in partnership with Temple Bar Cultural Trust, presents a new, very special, off-site production The End of the Road.

The 80 minute production takes you around Fishamble Street and its environs, in order to tell a version of the life story of Bill, currently a patient at St Francis Hospice, Raheny. A series of short plays, strange events and coddle-making, inspired by Bill’s life and favourite things, is brought to life inside and outside, up and down Fishamble Street, offering you new connections to buildings, gardens and streets. A real Dublin life story is brought to you through the glimpses, tangents, and dramatic turning points of a life fully lived over the past seven decades in the city.
