The Tailor and Ansty

by Eric Cross & Adapted by PJ O’Connor

Directed by Nuala Hayes

with Ronan Wilmot and Nuala Hayes

The Tailor and Ansty by Eric Cross was revived by The New Theatre in the summer of 2005, when it opened  at the Gougane Barra Hotel, West Cork and delighted packed houses for five weeks. It played in a marquee beside the lake, near to the tiny, beautiful graveyard where the tailor Timothy Buckley and his wife Ansty are buried and just down the road from the cottage where they lived.  

 The Irish Examiner gave the production four stars calling it “an enchanting play”
