Kildare arts centre show brings audience back to the 80s
Declan Gorman
NEWBRIDGE Riverbank Arts Centre is set to welcome Declan Gorman to the venue with his new theatre show Nineteen Eighty Something on Thursday 7 May.
In Nineteen Eighty Something Gorman tells his own story of what it was like to be a young Irish man in the 1980s. A critically renowned performer, Gorman takes his audiences on memorable theatrical journeys.
The performance begins dramatically with a young Irish emigrant wakened from sleep in a German subway by an unknown woman and told to run! From this it hurtles non-stop through the squats and factories of Bavaria, journeys to North Africa and back home to a new life in the independent (fringe) theatre and street protest in Ireland.
Expect heartbreak, absurd escapades, side-splitting laughter, memorable characters and self-discovery. Whether you lived through the eighties or simply wondered what it was like to be alive and young at that time, this show will take you there on a wild ride, with a pumping soundtrack, video backdrop and a story so true you couldn’t make it up!
The show will be performed at Riverbank Arts Centre on Thursday 7 May at 8pm. Tickets are priced €18/€16 and can be booked through the Box Office, either in person or by telephone on 045 448327 Monday to Friday 9.30am-5pm (closed for lunch 2-2.30) and Saturday 10am-1pm.
Tickets can also be booked 24/7 on www.riverbank.ie
