Belfast's Lyric Theatre to Bring BRENDAN AT THE CHELSEA Acorn Theatre in September
Northern Ireland's preeminent theatre company, Belfast's Lyric Theatre, presents the U.S. premiere of a new play by Janet Behan, "Brendan at the Chelsea," about the controversial playwright Brendan Behan, in the turbulent last weeks of his short life, when he lived in New York at the Chelsea Hotel. Portraying Behan is the noted actor Adrian Dunbar, who also directs the five-character drama. This is Dunbar's professional NY stage debut, and it is also the Lyric Theatre's debut production in New York.
