Irish Repertory Theatre Opens GIVE ME YOUR HAND This Sunday

Irish Repertory Theatre continues its acclaimed 24th Season with the New York premiere of famed poet Paul Durcan's GIVE ME YOUR HAND, set to open Sunday, March 11, in the company's W. Scott McLucas Studio Theatre (132 West 22nd Street). Richard Twyman directs.

In GIVE ME YOUR HAND, "Paul Durcan has taken some of the most famous paintings in the world, and interpreted them with his own unique, poetic voice. Two of Ireland's most eminent actors, Dermot Crowley and Dearbhla Molloy, take an imaginative stroll through the National Gallery of London and re-discover everyone from Van Gogh and Van Eyck, to Rubens and Gainsborough, through the unique prism of the author's imagination."

Performances of GIVE ME YOUR HAND run through April 1 at The Irish Repertory Theatre Company's W. Scott McLucas Studio Theatre (132 West 22nd Street, between 6th and 7th Avenues): Wednesday-Saturday at 8pm; plus 3pm matinees on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday.
