A deeply moving story of
love and loss, Paul Muldoon’s Incantata promises to be one of the Irish
theatrical highlights of 2018. The world premiere of this major new play stars
one of Ireland's leading actors, Stanley Townsend (Spooks, Quirke, Waking the Dead).
'It's a rollercoaster ride
of a show. Funny one minute, tragic the next; it’s about trying to make
something good from grief. Anyone watching will take a lot from it."
- Sam Yates, Incantata
director
Incantata was written by
Paul Muldoon about the great artist, and his former partner, Mary Farl Powers,
who died at the very young age of 43. Muldoon wrote it in the immediate
aftermath of Powers’ death and it was a way for him to remember Powers and to
celebrate her while coming to terms with losing someone he loved.
This world premiere stage
production imagines a whole life that is based on Paul Muldoon’s writing and it
goes beyond that too. It’s a story full of love, full of heartache, full of
sadness, and with bitingly funny humour too.
Directed by the
award-winning Sam Yates, fresh from his West End success with Glengarry Glen
Ross (with Christian Slater), Pulitzer Prize Winner Paul Muldoon’s script is
full of feeling and depth about two people in love, the times they shared
together and the grief that comes after loss.
The production features a
haunting soundtrack by composer Teho Teardo, who is well known to audiences in
Ireland for his music with Enda Walsh including Ballyturk, Arlington and most
recently Grief is the Thing with Feathers; set design by Rosanna Vize; lighting
design by the multi-award winning designer Paul Keogan; cutting-edge video
design by Jack Phelan and sound design by Sinéad Diskin.
Produced in association
with Poetry Ireland
