The Dream of a Summer Day
Written & Directed by Liam Halligan
The Dream of a Summer Day celebrates the remarkable journey of an outsider in search of a home. Lafcadio Hearn, the Gothic writer, begins his travels when his mother brings him from his native Greece to Victorian Ireland. As a young man, he braves the rough and tumble ghettos of Cincinnati until, disillusioned with the sordid capitalism of the West, he sets sail for Japan – the otherworldly setting of his extraordinary stories…
The daring and distinctive Storytellers Theatre Company present a rich and imaginative tale, vividly told through live music, dance and humour. Interweaving Lafcadio’s timeless stories with his fascinating life, The Dream of a Summer Day promises to be a magical evening of theatre.
Liam Halligan, nominated for an Irish Times ESB Irish Theatre Award for Best Director, marks his new role as Artistic Director with this vibrant production, leading the team that created Storytellers Theatre Company’s critically-acclaimed Rashomon in 2004.
