From Out the Land will be staged in Clonmel in September
This September, Clonmel Junction Arts as part of ART:2023 presents From Out The Land by Jack Reardon & Áine Ryan - the largest theatrical event that Tipperary has ever staged.
In a site-specific theatre production, Jack Reardon (Hucklebuck, The Hunchback of Notre Dame) will direct a company of seven actors, six musicians, and a chorus of 100 voices, to trace the journey of one hundred years in Clonmel's military history, inspired by the experiences of Irish soldiers and their families.
Three generations, one barracks.
1914: Young men head to fight in World War 1 as part of the Royal Irish Regiment.
1970: In Lebanon, Irish soldiers are deployed to the peacekeeping forces of the United Nations.
2012: 12th Infantry Battalion wives and families campaign to keep Kickham Barracks operational.
The creative team also includes co-author Áine Ryan (Kitty In The Lane), Jack Scullion (set & costume design), Eoin Lennon (lighting design), Shane Dempsey (movement), Michael Stapleton (sound design) and Kate Twohig (original composition). Cast includes: Cathal Ryan, Darragh Shannon, Julie Maguire, Eanna Grogan and more to be announced.
Clíona Maher, Creative Producer and Junction Festival Director, says: “From Out The Land will be the largest theatrical event that Tipperary has ever staged, and we’re excited to bring it to life here in Clonmel.”
Director/ Co-writer Jack Reardon says: “It’s family, it’s friendship, it’s rebels, soldiers and brothers: it’s 100 years of barracks history.”
Maureen Kennelly, Director of the Arts Council: “The goal of ART:2023 is to support the creation of ambitious artworks that integrate our history into a compelling vision of contemporary Ireland; we’re excited to give a voice to Clonmel Junction Arts and their creative team as part of this programme.”
