BWW Interview: Irish Actor, Shane O'Regan, on PRIVATE PEACEFUL and Contemplating the Purpose of War
War! What is it good for? Private Peaceful, adapted and directed by Simon Reade, will make its New York debut at The TBG Mainstage Theatre this August and leave it up to audiences to answer this age-old question. Irish actor, Shane O' Regan, plays 40 characters over the course of this 90-minute play, centered on young solider, Tommo Peaceful, and the bond he has with older brother, Charlie. With war and destruction plaguing his family's small English town, Tommo reflects on the meaning of life and what's most important. Through it all, he works to see the humanity in others, reminding us all of our innate purpose - to love.
