Description

The Only Punk Rocker in the Village is set in North Clare in the late 1970s, where a teenager's discovery of punk rock turns his life upside down – causing consternation, shock and misunderstanding with his parents, community and friends. The setting is the village of Lisdoonvarna, where a tight-knit, conservative, traditional community is invaded by this new foreign phenomenon, punk rock. In the village however, there is only one punk rocker. The one punk-rocker in the village has notions.

This show is a kind, heartwarming journey through nostalgia. The actor gives to the audience a very truthful performance, given the autobiografic nature of the play. Even though I'm very much younger than him, I found myself really driven by the story.

It’s a charming, coming of age tale of a boy lured by the siren of the music of far away.
