Fresh from a successful run at Dublin Fringe, The Corps Ensemble come to Townhall Cavan with ‘Close to the Sun’ by Philip Doherty on Saturday, 11 November, at 8pm.

 

The play stars Mary Murray (Love/Hate) and is the latest creation of two-time winner of RTÉ’s prestigious PJ O’Connor Award for new Irish writing and recent overall winner of the SCRIPTS Ireland’s Playwriting Festival Philip Doherty.

 

‘Close to the Sun’ explores the connection between Irish and Australian mythology and gives a voice to a lost generation.
