DATHANNA GEALA AMHÁIN

By Pauline Goldsmith

This legendary Irish wake show has toured from Belfast to Brazil in a hearse!

An Taibhdhearc presents the premier of its translation into Irish.

‘Bright Colours Only’ is a wickedly funny one-woman show, resurrected for the first time for the Galway Theatre Festival and on tour.

Enjoy a drop of the hard stuff and join us on this heartwarming journey to the edge of oblivion. This show is only suitable for those dying to live. Tea, sympathy and sandwiches will also be provided.

English surtitles available. Contains some mild swearing and references to violence. 14+
