Synopsis

Citysong is a play but is also a lyrically poetic ode to modern day life in Dublin. The play is a chorus of voices showing us three generations of a Dublin family on one day, and it turns out one day holds the entire past.

There are teen discos, late night taxis, home nurses, Jewish launderettes, vigilantes, babies, immigrants, seagulls , bars etc.

Citysong is intimate and sweeping, cerebral and compassionate, and it’s also joyous and ridiculous. It’s a modern day Dublin’s Under Milk Wood which requires an ensemble cast of 6 actors , who will inhabit a multitude of different characters throughout the play , all linked by the narrator who will guide us all through Dublin’s fair city.

Citysong will be a World amateur premiere, and indeed an Australian premiere.
