Dancing In The Moonlight: A Play About Phil Lynott

This event has ended

Smock Alley Theatre, Wednesday 12th October - Saturday 15th October

A solo show exploring the formative years of Phil Lynott.

Set in 1960’s Dublin, Phil tells his life story, from birth to the formation of Thin Lizzy. This one-man show explores Phil’s experience as a musician, from earlier bands, first girlfriends and the difficulties of being the only black kid in his school. This is the story of how a young man who grew up in Crumlin went on to become one of the greatest rock icons of the 1970’s.

“…The sky’s the limit for one of rock’s hidden stories that deserves wider attention” – The Edinburgh Reporter
“…This complexity of character isn’t easy to convey within a 50-minute show, but Mlambo does so with apparent ease” – Voice Mag
“…Miles Mlambo, who looks and sounds hauntingly similar to the departed singer” – The Edit GCU

Actor Miles Mlambo and Director Chris Gates will do a Q&A following the performance of the show on the 12th of October.

WRITTEN AND PERFORMED BY Miles Mlambo
DIRECTED BY Chris Gates
