We’re delighted to announce this update to a project first seen at Allingham in 2021. In the meantime, it was also given a very special Dublin production in aid of the Irish Motor Neurone Association sponsored by Brian J McMullin, solicitors.
Nets of Wonder is a creative collaboration between Olive Travers, a writer, Barry Britton, an artist, and Eamon, Travers, a musician, spear- headed and inspired by Olive’s scripts for RTÉ Radio 1’s Sunday Miscellany. Barry chose twelve scripts that sparked his creativity and for each he illustrated a response. Olive’s son Eamon took those same twelve scripts and composed an original piece of music to reflect the mood and theme of each.
Stories on the Wall is the stage show and exhibition which brings the resulting book to life. Readings are interwoven with Barry’s art and Eamon’s piano compositions to create a fusion of the spoken word, original art and music.. The exhibition of the original copies of Barry’s illustrations will be on view for one night only to accompany the stage show.
Nets of Wonder, published by Beehive Books, the latest manifestation of the project will be available on the night.
Don’t miss it in Theatre 1 at the Abbey Arts Centre, 8.30PM on Thursday November 9TH
Admission free and all welcome.
