OF MORNINGTON by Billy Roche at Wexford Arts Centre

Internationally acclaimed playwright and author Billy Roche (Handful Of Stars, Poor Beast In The Rain, Belfry) and renowned Irish Actor Gary Lydon (The Banshees of Inisherin, The Guard, Calvary, Brooklyn, War Horse, The Clinic) continue their 40-year creative alliance to present OF MORNINGTON; a raw, unsentimental drama set in a rundown café where three lost souls collide, revealing broken dreams, quiet devastation, and the myths we cling to when the applause is gone.

 

In its first professional production, OF MORNINGTON is set in a rundown, small-town café run by the emotionally wounded young waitress Shauna. Former world champion snooker player Phil Athens and his magic cue now live in the apartment above. Licking his wounds, both physical and emotional, Phil yearns to return to his former glory. Enter Mike, the young ne’er-do-well, snooker player wannabe, who drifts into the café looking for something he can’t find. The three lost souls collide, revealing broken dreams, quiet devastation, and the myths we cling to when the applause is gone.
