About the The Dead
The Performance Corporation is delighted to be working with Breda Cashe to present this exciting new show, and together we have teamed up with some exceptional talent to give James Joyce’s best-loved short story The Dead a thrilling new operatic treatment.
Acclaimed Irish composer Ellen Cranitch (who you may recognise from RTE Lyric FM) and our own, award-winning playwright Tom Swift have created a pared back musical telling of Joyce’s classic story that is by turns theatrical, evocative & moving.
Directed by Jo Mangan, our superb cast (Clare Barrett, Lisa Lambe, Ruth McGill, Rory Musgrave), accompanied by a string quartet conjure the atmosphere of a Christmas party inhabited by Joyce’s vibrant characters.
Our new version taps into the deep vein of musical references running through original story, taking you on journey exploring life, love and death.
