I loved that musical
Fabliss!
The soundtrack is still stuck in my head 😂
'promo sm' 😠
I disagree
Loved Mr Townsend's performance in The Linenhall Theatre, Castlebar last night :) Thank-you.
Saw it last night in the kilkenny castle park and it was absolutely brilliant! The effects were great and the entire cast absolutely sucks you in. Hats off especially to Ariels actress, she was spellbinding
I saw this musical at Dublin Castle in September 2021. I was blown away by how spectacularly good it was. Brilliant songs and script. The three performers were incredible. Thank you! Please can you release a recording?
I saw this play on Monday night. It was superb:: poetic, bawdy and above all with gorgeous singing. See it now or live a lifetime with regret
Just watched this at the Kilkenny arts festival! Absolutely brilliant! Is there any way to get the soundtrack?
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed the show. We are hoping to release one or two tracks from the show after the Fringe run, and we will post the links here.
A little gem! It looks like a lovely, humorous and creative adaptation of Shakespeare! Interestingly, with Paul Mescal vividly performing - both acting and singing - before neither he, or anyone else, knew, what would happen shortly after...
Literally just found out that Aislon is my cousin on my paternal side while tracing my family on Ancestry and 23and me. Crazy how I saw her on TV and never even knew we were related
