Opening in July: Brendan

July 13th is opening night for Banshee's production of Brendan, a new play by Irish playwright Ronan Noone. A young Irishman comes to New York to forge a new life for himself. But his old life isn't quite done with him yet as he tries to make a life for himself in a strange new world. Funny and touching, Brendan brings a whole new vibe to the Irish drama Theatre Banshee's famous for.

This production, directed by McKerrin Kelly, features Amir Abdullah, Deverau Chumrau, Brian Danner (US), Kathleen M. Darcy, Catia Ojeda, Patrick Quinlan and Eamon Sheehan. Brendan will open at Theatre Banshee July 13 for a six week run. We'll look foward to seeing you then.
