Living alone in Cork, Ireland, Luther is troubled but mischievous, lonely but hopeful. While he prepares for a big night out as an Elvis impersonator he reflects on his past and dares to dream of the future…maybe even of romance.
Like Ireland itself he’s been stepped on many times but keeps on dancing. Keeps his humor. Keeps seeking light in the darkness. Soon Luther’s evening unfurls into a mad tango between memory and wonder.
A veteran of the stage in Ireland, Pat Kinevane’s collaborations with Fishamble have been described by The Guardian as “dazzling” for their use of color, movement and expression to create a singular emotional experience. Named a “Pick of the Fringe” at the 2023 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, KING explores how our personal and collective history shape us into strange new forms, demanding courage at every turn. Produced by Fishamble: The New Play Company.
