SEAN TYRRELL IN "THE CRY OF A DREAMER"
Saturday, May 17th, 8:00 P.M.
The Irish Center (The Commodore Barry Club)
The Philadelphia Ceili Group in conjunction with the Irish Repertory Theatre of Philadelphia presents Sean Tyrrell in his own man show about the life and times of Irish visionary, poet, patriot, rebel, activist, revolutionary John Boyle O'Reilly. O'Reilly (1844-1890) was persecuted, condemned and banished from Ireland to the Penal Colonies of Australia for his political beliefs and activities. Sean's love of traditional music is very much to the fore as the story is cleverly tied together with jigs, reels, a march and a few slow airs. Using a variety of instruments, Sean weaves effortlessly between narrative, instrumentals and song. For more information on Sean and on the show you can visit www.irishphiladelphia.com for an interview with Sean or read a fascinating article in the Irish Edition written by Mike Reilly. Cost of the concert is $15 and $13 for Ceili Group members. This will be a night to remember as we experience Sean's musical talents combined with the fascinating story of a true Irish rebel.
