The Star of Chester’s Lane

Quintessence Theatre | Spring 2020 National Tour in association with An Táin Arts Centre

This is a man’s world: always has been. Or has it…? 1854: Mr McGrath has fallen to his death working on the building of the Boyne Viaduct in Drogheda, leaving his wife, Catherine, alone to fend for herself. What’s a poor woman to do…? …Put on his clothes, of course, and take up his place in the world! A remarkable true story of one of the country’s forgotten street characters, Kate the Navvy: the Molly Malone of Louth. A bawdy comedy that breathes bawdy new life into Irish history and uproariously celebrates the great tradition of the storyteller.
*Suitable 12+ due to strong language
