Tom Murphy is one of Irelands greatest playwrights and down the years Dunmore has seen some memorable performances of Murphy plays, going back to the late Margaret Walsh's superb production of "A Crucial Week in the Life of a Grocer's Assistant" in the late 70's. Following on his magnificent production of "Someone Who'll Watch Over Me", which came so tantalisingly close to winning All Ireland glory last year, Philip Macdonnell has chosen Tom Murphy's "The Gigli Concert" as his 2016 production. The cast of Martin Silke, Ollie Turner and Joan Walkin are a troupe of very experienced and skilled actors who have performed with distinction all around Ireland. Director, Philip Macdonnell is not only a skilled director and lighting technician but is also a very experienced and distinguished actor. They will not be found wanting and everyone wishes Philip and his cast all the very best on the circuit with this demanding play.
