2023 Bloomsday Northampton UK

New Drama from Asa Murphy

Triskellion Productions in collaboration with Asa Murphy (dramatist) and Bill Elms Productions is delighted to be bringing this new family play to the Salvatorian College Theatre on June 17th . New Generations is a heartwarming story of a family and the changes and challenges they face when a new baby comes along . We follow the fortunes of new mum Becky and her Mother and how the fine line is walked between advice and interference whilst Dad Tony is in the middle of the turmoil trying to balance his loyalties. Having seen Asa Murphy’s Liverpool Irish pub musical ‘Annie’s Bar’ I am expecting more laughs and pathos moments from Asa’s newest drama. Asa told me the narrative will be interspersed with cast members singing also, so a musical drama is what to expect. The family will eventually find that ‘family dramas’ find their answers in compromise and love. There will be a licensed bar at the venue and Asa himself will entertain the audience who want to stay on after the play. A renowned Swing and Blues professional entertainer , so you are getting a full night of entertainment for £20

Letters to Lucia

written by Richard Rose and James Vollmar and perfomed by Triskellion Irish Theatre Company.

LETTERS TO LUCIA FINAL COPY

Centered on the life of the daughter of James Joyce and Nora Barnacle.

Letters to Lucia is an original drama featuring letters as they might have been written to James Joyce’s daughter Lucia by those who knew her well. These correspondents include her parents and the writer Samuel Beckett who visited her at St Andrews, the Northampton hospital where she ended her days.

In the unique setting of the cemetery where Lucia is buried, her friends and family express thoughts and feelings they perhaps wished they could have articulated during Lucia’s lifetime, but for various reasons did not.

From an original idea by Richard Rose, the drama was developed in collaboration with playwright James Vollmar and the Triskellion Irish Theatre Company. Cast of James Joyce, Nora Barnacle, Samuel Beckett, Frank Budgen, and Kathleen Neel.

This new play will be performed for the first time on Bloomsday (June 16th 2018 @ 2.30pm) at her graveside, Kingsthorpe, Northampton. Our 14th year !. Bring a chair and light picnic !.Also buried here are Donall Mac Amhlaigh (Irish in Britain Writer) and Violet Gibson (The Irishwoman Who Shot Mussolini)

His visit coincides with the annual carnival in the village and he brings his two friends, Sammy and Eddie to stay for the ten days of the carnival. Jimmy’s arrival triggers a series of events that neither he nor his mother could have foreseen.
