Plays Partnership in Concert:
Transport
A New Musical by Thomas Keneally and Larry Kirwan
Concert Performance Directed by Tony Walton
April 25 - May 1 | Friday - Saturday 8pm, Sunday 3pm
Transport is a new musical in development that tells the universal
story of immigration, loss and redemption, based on the real journey of an Irish
woman from Cork to Australia in 1846.
On Thomas Keneally and Schindler’s List
"Keneally is a superb storyteller."
—Alan Sillitoe, The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner
"An extraordinary achievement"
—Graham Greene
"Brilliantly detailed, moving, powerful and gripping"
—‚ The Times
On Larry Kirwan and Black 47
"...An unashamedly topical wallop of the early-Seventies Jersey-bar
E Street Band and the Combat Rock-era Clash, laced with the mourning siren of
uilleann pipes."
—Rolling Stone |
Written and conceived by world-renowned novelist and Man Booker prize
winner Thomas
Keneally (Schindler’s List), with music composed by Wexford's Larry
Kirwan, founder of the iconic New York City band BLACK 47, Transport captures
the searing emotion of the Irish diaspora to the Australian penal colony.
Over the course of a week at the Irish Arts Center, top New York theatrical
talents including eight actors and three musicians, under the
direction of Tony -winner Tony Walton will bring Transport to
life as an allegory for displacement in the times in which we live and a celebration
of the human spirit. The week will culminate in three not-to-be-missed concert
performances at the intimate Donaghy Theatre.
