Padraig Potts

This coming-of-age play, set in rural Ireland, just might break your heart – It might also bring you back to a time and place full of innocence and longing. Doused with the colour and humour we have come to expect from Seamus O’Rourke – this time he is joined on stage by a chorus of characters that have enchanted his past. Padraig Potts manfully wades through the indecisions of his youth as we discover that we should always follow our hearts and our dreams! This is a relentless tale of love and failure and fatigue… and then just in time… at the end – love again. A seamless tapestry of what made us squirm in the 70’s and 80’s.
