Footsbarn Travelling Theatre Offers Discounted Tix As Easter Gift

Footsbarn Travelling Theatre celebrates its 40th birthday with a triumphant return to Ireland. Their Spiegeltent is at the Point Village, with the run now extended to May 1st 2011. "These guys are probably the best travelling theatre company in the world and it is great to see them coming back to Ireland," explained Harry Crosbie, Chairman, The Point Village. "When they called to see whether we would be able to host them at the Point Village I didn't have to think twice about it."

"Sorry!" involves not only the Footsbarn production team, but also Pierre Byland, the famous swiss clown actor and teacher from the Lecoq school, and the Cirque Werdyn, a gypsy horse circus.
"This is not your typical stuffy play," explains Paddy Hayter, Footsbarn Theatre Company. "As the undertakers hold a funeral for a famous composer, a family of gypsies arrive to celebrate a wedding, all in the same place. From ill fated attempts at cohabitation to open warfare, the two sides attempt to cope with this unfortunate double booking. With a plot like that you know you are in for a show like no other."

Ticket prices €20 for adults, €10 for children and €15 for students, those without a job and older people. Two family pack ticket bundles are available - Family pack (4 people) - 2 adults and 2 children €50 or Family pack (5 people) - 2 adults and 3 children €60.

You won't find another show in Ireland this year that features clowns and undertakers, actors and tractors, corpses and horses and theatre and circus. Despite being 40 years old, Footsbarn Travelling Theatre have lost none of their energy or invention.
