The Rational Regrets of Richie Ryan
Event Information
Description
The Rational Regrets of Richie Ryan is a site specific piece of theatre commissioned by Galway County Council. Inspired by old Madden’s Forge, Athenry, the history of the rural blacksmith, lucky charms and travelling entertainers, it charts the life, loves and losses of the fictional Blacksmith Richie Ryan. While Richie spends his days meditatively making, breaking and making again by the fire, our storyteller illuminates the always rational yet often regretful decisions that have landed him here, alone amongst the ‘lucky’ horse shoes and broken bellows, forgotten by time itself.
New work by Galway based artist James Riordan.
