This show about Larry Slattery is not to be missed.
“Heroes and Ghosts – The Life and Times of Larry Slattery” is a one man play which tells the fascinating story of Larry Slattery, born the son of the school master, Michael Slattery of Annacarty NS in 1913.

The play was recently performed at The Horse and Jockey Hotel to great acclaim for two sold out performances. As a teenager Larry was a first hand witness of the political turmoil of 1919 to 1923 in the Annacarty / Donohill area.
In later life he was an RAF airman, a translator at Nuremberg, and he played in the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. The play is performed by Christy Clancy, retired principal of Littleton N.S. where Larry Slattery’s father subsequently taught, from 1927 to 1945.
