Well the new show is now fully up and running. The initial 7 performances as part of Temple Bar Trad Fest went really well and gave us the chance to hone the show and improvise a bit with live audiences.
The site has been updated and you can see video and photos from some of the performances.
I hope to post images and video as we tour the show around so check back again.
The show is now available for touring and so hopefully we’ll see you at a street or theatre soon!
Hi, My fifth solo (not really solo as you’ll see) The Tall Tale of Mr. Punch will premier in Late January 2010.
The show will firstly bring ‘Mr. Punch back to the Dublin city streets and secondly for the first time in 300 years of Irish Punch Theatre fuse him with Traditional Irish music.
While it’s a family show, I’m holding nothing back!
( If Tom & Gerry had an email address I’m sure they’d get them too)
Our tradition, despite it’s age, has been so modeled by the British Punch we’re really working hard on creating something going back to the Italian roots but also unique and TRULY IRISH!
I’m really lucky to be working with a highly respected fiddle player and composer Malachy Bourke on the show and he’ll be playing live.
Watch out for some “slap-stick” fun and a little satire returning to `punch’ theatre from Jan!
More details to follow!
The Boy The Bean and the Very Tall plant will paly at the Wels Puppet Festival in Austria in early March
