1st Irish Festival Finale: Peace and Love in Brooklyn - In Concert by Eamon O'Tuama
Description
A poignant, time-bending rock 'n' roll drama about an Irish family that never was.
One drunken night down a blackberry lane in 1973 Dublin, two teenagers conceive a child but separate in shame. Peace and Love in Brooklyn, a new Irish musical by Eamon O’Tuama, follows the lives of Kiero, a troubled and colorful rock 'n’ roll roadie and his son, Jim, an anxiety-ridden musician, raised by single mother, Theresa.
Father and son have never met until Theresa hums a melody she has carried for years. A musical thread unravels and a reckoning begins.
Peace and Love in Brooklyn will be performed in concert with a live band, and will feature Annalisa Chamberlin, Maria Deasy, Liam Forde, Briana Layon, Aedin Moloney, Fergal Titley and Gary Troy.
Directed by award-winning actor John Keating with musical direction by Ed Goldschneider, conductor of the original Broadway run of Urinetown, Peace and Love in Brooklyn - In Concert is being produced by Origin's 2019 1st Irish Spirit of the Festival Winner Maria Deasy and Composer/Writer Eamon O'Tuama. The show was developed with support from Irish American Writers & Artists (IAW&A) and Origin Theatre Company.
