Pat Kinevane’e Play ‘Silent’ comes to Ballymaloe Grainstore

Fishamble: The New Play Company Presents Silent in Ballymaloe Grainstore on Thursday 7 March at 8pm.  Cobh native Pat Kinevane commands the stage and grips the audience in his one-man show.

Silent is the touching and challenging story of homeless Tino McGoldrig, who left Cobh for the bright lights and baubles of Dublin. Tino once had splendid things,  but he has lost them all – including his mind. He now dives into the wonderful wounds of his past through the romantic world of Rudolph Valentino.

Bristling with black humour, Pat’s tour-de-force performance has wowed audiences in Ireland, Europe, Australia and the USA.  It earned him the two top honours in the 2011 Edinburgh Fringe Festival – ‘Scotsman Fringe First’ and ‘The Herald Angel’.

Written and Performed by Pat Kinevane
Directed by Jim Culleton
Produced by Marketa Dowling
Music composed by Denis Clohessy
Costume styled by Catherine Condell
