PURGATORY
by W.B. Yeats
Join Handcart Ensemble for a one-night-only benefit performance of Purgatory, W.B. Yeats’s chilling one-act play about an attempt to break a curse that spans three generations.
The performance will be directed by Belfast actress/director Joan McCready and features Sam McCready in the role of the Old Man. The McCreadys have directed or acted in nearly all of the plays of W.B. Yeats, and served as Co-Artistic Directors of Belfast’s Lyric Theatre, the most celebrated theater in the North of Ireland.
