Jonathan Swift: Savage Indignation

This event has ended

The Lark Concert Hall, Saturday 5th July

Behind every genius lies a storm – this fascinating piece of theatre uncovers the secrets that Jonathan Swift never meant the world to hear. In Jonathan Swift: Savage Indignation, the life of one of history’s greatest writers is told through talk, drama and music. In this new musical written and presented by Gerry Mullins, letters and poetry by Jonathan Swift are adapted into songs for the first time.

This encapsulating piece of theatre describes what happens in Swift’s life when his two lady friends, Stella and Vanessa, find out about each other. Dave McGloughlin plays Swift, Debbie Barry plays Vanessa, and Aisling Coleman plays Stella.

The music for the show is arranged and performed by one of Ireland’s most accomplished composers David Munro. This show will also feature a very special guest interview where the life of Swift will be discussed (ideal for those who are not so familiar with the life and work of the great writer).
