#tommymccarthy

It’s almost complete - this is the official “Rewind” journal documenting the creation and writing process of this unique collaboration with musician and Burren co-owner Tommy McCarthy. As a playwright, I’ve had many unique opportunities,but this is an ultimate club theatre experience, as the play and the music are written explicitly for a particular stage and club as well as to fit into the “Burren Backroom Series” in Somerville, MA and broadcast weekly on Brian O’Donovan’s “A Celtic Sojourn” on WGBH Radio. The program airs every Saturday afternoon and presents Traditional Celtic and Gaelic music, as well as comedic performances from the Emerald isle. 

I will document the rehearsals through text, music, and photos beginning Wednesday, February 16.

Sunday, February 14

Theater, Live Music

Tommy McCarthy and his fiddlers return to the remote isle of Inishbofin to find Liam in different circumstances than where they left him several seasons ago. In this scandalous sequel to "The Fiddlers of Inishbofin", which is again filled with beautiful traditional & contemporary Irish music, we find Liam abandoned by Fiona as her sister, Enya, returns to bring Liam and the other fiddlers a big surprise! This romantic comedy introduces new music and musicians, as well as some new blood to the Fiddlers' sessions. Playwright Peter Holm, puts Tommy McCarthy's story & music to stage in a premiere that's just in time for St. Patrick's Day. All proceeds to benefit Lahey Cancer Care Center.
