THE MID-KNIGHT COWBOY to Play United Solo Fest, 11/9
By: Tyler Peterson Oct. 23, 2013
The Mid-Knight Cowboy is written and performed by Pius McGrath and directed by Tara Doolan and will be performed at United Solo Theatre Festival, Theatre Row, November 9th 2014, 2pm.
In this new writing from Ireland, McGrath takes a piercing look at what it means to be a man in post economic boom Ireland.
McGrath plays three generations of Irish men, from the same family, at different points in their lives. This provides both a fast paced, exciting performance and a varied commentary. Showcasing both the honesty in McGrath's writing and skill as an accomplished performer.
Told with classic Irish humour, honesty, and artistic fervor through raunchy real-life experiences, The Mid-Knight Cowboy follows MacCumhaill's failing efforts to find contentment within himself by filling his emptiness with countless conquests and meaningless affairs
This social commentary piece uses an innovative style of writing and performance and, while humorous and brash, it is also a hard hitting honest portrayal of a young man's emotional realization and growing self-awareness.
Produced by Honest Arts Production Company.
Honest Arts was established in February 2013 by Tara Doolan and Pius McGrath. The goal of the company is 'to produce honest, new, innovative, Irish writing about the world we live in today.'
