L�ireofar dr�ma nua g�arch�iseach grinn leis an scr�bhneoir iomr�iteach Darach � Scola� sa Project Arts Centre i mBaile �tha Cliath �n Mh�irt 20 go Satharn 24 Deireadh F�mhair 2009. Is iad an comhlacht gairmi�il amharclanna�ochta Salamandar at� i mbun an l�irithe.

Suite sa bhliain 1171, caitheann An tSeanbhr�g f�achaint �r ghreannmhar ar an stair agus ar an �ireannachas. Agus � faoi thionchur a chomr�da� glic Muiris, t� an ridire buacach Normannach Gear�id idir dh� chomhairle: a bheith d�lis d� R� thall i Londain n� r�ocht nua a chruth� d� f�in san oile�n iathghlas seo at� curtha faoi chois acu.

Deirtear gurb iad na buaiteoir� a scr�obhann an stair ach c�ard a th�rla�onn nuair a deir na buaiteoir� gurb iad f�in a chaill?!

L�iri� eile � An tSeanbhr�g ar bhua U� Scola� mar chearda� pinn a bhfuil faobhar ar a chuid focal agus � ag f� greann n�d�rtha d�chasach Chonamara as f�ithim thrag�ideach na daonnachta. Dr�ma�ocht nua, dh�na, fhisici�il � seo a thagann sna s�la ar sh�r-l�irithe rath�la eile Salamandar a l�ir�odh le deireaneas - Craos & An Braon An�os.

Le Darach Mac Con Iomaire (Cr� na Cille) ag sti�radh agus Se�n � Flaithearta i mbun dearadh st�itse, tugann An tSeanbhr�g roinnt de na pearsana is aitheanta i ndomhan na dr�ma�ochta Gaeilge i gcomhph�irt�ocht le ch�ile ar�s. Orthu si�d freisin t� na haisteoir� Se�n � Meallaigh, Marcus Lamb & Eoin Geoghegan, agus an cumad�ir cl�iteach ceoil Rachel Holstead.

An tSeanbhr�g

- A Biting New Play by Darach � Scola� -

Marcus Lamb, Se�n � Meallaigh and Eoin Geoghegan combine in the latest Salamandar production from the pen of award-winning writer Darach � Scola� which will premi�re in the Project Arts Centre, Dublin from the 20th October 2009.

An tSeanbhr�g (The Old Shoe) is an intensely physical Irish language tragicomedy, which lampoons the human frailty at the core of our collective amnesia surrounding one of the most defining moments of Irish History. Set in 1171, An tSeanbhr�g offers an alternative view of the conquest of Ireland, with a subersive take on Irishness and nationalist spin-doctoring.

Torn between duty to their king in faraway London and easier pickings in the Emerald Isle, two comrades put their friendship to the test as old loyalties are re-evaluated in this vicious new black comedy. Guided by his avoricious side-kick Muiris, the conquering knight Gear�id finds himself at the head of a nation-building conspiracy intent on power. History is said to be written by the winners but what happens when the winners pretend to have lost?!

Following the huge success of their two previous productions Craos & An Braon An�os, Galway-based theatre company Salamandar showcase once again the talent of writer Darach � Scola� in weaving intense comedy from the frayed threads and absurdity of the human condition.

Directed by enfant terrible of the Irish language stage, Darach Mac Con Iomaire, with set design by Se�n � Flaithearta, An tSeanbhr�g sees the collaboration of some of the top names in Irish Language drama, with an original score by award-winning composer, Rachel Holstead.

An tSeanbhr�g will premi�re in the Project Arts Centre, Dublin from the 20th - 24th October before transferring to the Regional Cultural Centre in Letterkenny from the 28th - 31st October as part of the Oireachtas na Gaeilge Festival.
