GALWAY THEATREGOERS are in for a treat next week with a new staging of Patricia Burke Brogan’s Eclipsed from Mephisto Theatre Company.
The production will be directed by Niall Cleary and the cast is Teresa Brennan, Catherine Denning, Siobhán Donnellan, Caroline Lynch, Zita Monahan, Emma O’Grady, Margaret O’Sullivan, and Liz Quinn.
First performed by Punchbag in 1992, Eclipsed is a powerful drama that sheds light on the lives of the women of the Magdalen Laundries. It won a Fringe First at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and was revived successfully at the Town Hall Theatre in 1998. There have been more than 60 productions of the play since its premiere.
Mephisto has been producing work in Galway since 2006. Past productions at the Town Hall include The Mai by Marina Carr, The Honey Spike by Bryan MacMahon, and Grenades by Tara McKevitt.
