It has been a long 16 years since The Abbey Theatre, Dublin visited The Market Place Theatre and now they are back with Frank McGuiness’ powerful portrayal of mortality, love and loss, ‘Observe The Sons Of Ulster Marching Towards The Somme’.
On 1 July 1916, the 36th Ulster Division took part in one of the bloodiest battles in human history. The Battle of the Somme. One hundred years on, the Abbey Theatre presents this major new co-production directed by Headlong’s Artistic Director, Jeremy Herrin. In the extraordinary circumstances of World War 1, eight ordinary men are changed, changed utterly. This iconic war play by Frank McGuinness is a powerful portrayal of mortality, love and loss.
Observe The Sons Of Ulster Marching Towards The Somme will be staged at Armagh’s Market Place Theatre on Saturday 23rd July at 8pm. Tickets are priced £20 each.
