"Be glad. The old man’s dead."
What could be better on a wintry Monday night than sitting in an Irish bar downing a few pints? How about sitting at a wake in an Irish Bar downing a few pints?
Seanachaí takes its tradition of Irish storytelling back to its roots - with this evocative tale performed in the back of a pub.
"The old dingleberry's dead," and through the fumes of beer and whiskey appear Fats, Bones, Beaky, Mumbles, Psycho, and Oscar. The gloves are off and everyone has a story to share. So pull up a chair and a jar as booze, insults, poetry, and comedy fly in equal measure, and the portrait of "Our father: narrow-minded, wide-girthed, drunk as a stone" emerges with brutal force and acerbic flavor.
From the company that brought you the comedy of War and the kaleidoscopic Scenes from the Big Picture comes Our Father, a 'funny, fast and furious' hit that ran on Theatre Row, off-Broadway for five years.
