Bright Soul shine in ‘Lowry Lynch’

WHO IS LOWRY LYNCH?

Once a year, on the Summer Solstice, King Lowry Lynch gets a haircut. However, the King is keeping a dark secret and after each haircut, something strange happens. After many years of haircuts, there is only one barber called Barney left in the kingdom.

Lowry Lynch premiered in our theatre on Monday 16 June, after a 10-week rehearsal process,  as part of Bright Soul’s spring term. Adapted by Director Midie Corcoran, Lowry Lynch is based on an old Irish story, a similar one found also in Indian folklore. It is a show about being different, and how honesty is indeed the best policy.

“Working with the Bright Soul performers has been the highlight of my year. Collaborating and devising together has brought so much fun, joy and laughter because these performers are all heART.” – Midie Corcoran, writer/director.

The production featured live musical accompaniment from harpist Áine Sheridan and musician Donal McCannon and for the invited audience, volunteers and cast of eleven players, it was a night of pure joy.

“Bright Soul is close to all of our hearts, being the origins of it all. The pairing of Midie Corcoran with this group is, dare I say it, a match made in heaven, a riot of imagination created by anarchists!” –  Petal Pilley, Artistic Director.
