After a successful nationwide tour, Blackwater Projects’ production of Frank McGuinness’ TONY-nominated play 'Someone Who’ll Watch Over Me' has arrived at Dublin’s Tivoli Theatre for a 3-week run.
Based on the kidnapping of Brian Keenan and John McCarthy, 'Someone Who’ll Watch Over Me' tells the story of three men - Irish, English and American - taken hostage in the Lebanon, and their struggle to maintain their sanity during their incarceration.
As the men turn to prayer, music, poetry and to each another, McGuinness tells their harrowing story with a mixture of savage black humour and pathos. Amazingly, despite the harrowing subject matter, “the play is blissfully funny” (The Daily Telegraph).
Someone Who’ll Watch Over Me is a powerful and poignant description of the fragility and resilience of the human spirit, and with the continuing spate of kidnappings worldwide, this play is still painfully relevant.
