Set during his wake, tales of love, friendship, luck and laughter are interwoven with live Irish folk music. All of this will be performed for a live audience by a cast of professional and community actors.The play and is entirely based on the stories and experiences of those linked to the Irish Centre on Fitzwilliam Street.The £95 million government-funded High Streets Heritage Action Zone programme, which is being delivered by Historic England, aims to unlock the potential of high streets across England, fuelling economic, social and cultural recovery, encouraging people to say Hi! to the high street, and breathe new life into it for future generations.
