47 ROSES

Written and performed by Peter Sheridan 

Directed by Maggie Byrne 

Join Peter Sheridan as he conjures up the sights and sounds of his 1960’s childhood in Dublin.

‘It was a month after my father’s death that Doris arrived from England with a bunch of 47 roses to place on his grave. This dramatic gesture raised immediate questions I needed answers for. Armed with memories from my childhood, I went in search of the truth. As the details of the past began to fall into place, I was forced to confront questions about my parents marriage.

My investigations led to a book that became a sensation on its release. There followed a stage show that has enthralled audiences throughout Ireland, the UK and France.’ Peter

"A story so vivid, affecting and lingering that it almost feels like our own." Irish Times

"He’s funny, he’s self-deprecating, he’s street-wise, he’s naughty... pure theatre" Emer O’Kelly, Sunday Independent

 “Peter Sheridan writes at the crossroads where hilarity and heartbreak, tenderness and savagery meet. The people who live there are often cruel, often magnificent, and always, always human. He captures them perfectly.” Roddy Doyle
