About this event

The year is 1913, but like a contemporary phone-addicted teenager, Jaymony Shanahan spends his days up in the loft staring into his magic glasses, hearing strange music and seeing incredible visions.

His distraught parents finally call in the fabled Morgan Quille, hoping he can cure this incurable of his wicked ways. Is Quille a genuine faith healer or a fake of a quack doctor? What will happen when a violent exorcism is attempted in this Kerry country kitchen?

With riotous humour, language of astonishing richness, and the highest of hi-jinx, The Magic Glasses is a mini-masterpiece by this under-celebrated playwright, a Kerry magician of singular genius, George Fitzmaurice.

Ages 14+
