For
those who loved last season's triumph Travesties comes a play full of
songs, magic tricks, and bicycles. Spokesong will delight you and
capture your imagination. Set in and around a bicycle shop in Belfast,
this comic piece concerns Frank, the current operator of the shop
founded by his grandfather. As his city in Northern Ireland becomes a
war-zone, Frank dreams of peace through superior transportation: the
Bicycle. Part romance, part blithe-spirited social history, part
musical and, not least of all, part lament for the religious and
economic strife that has torn Ireland apart for so many years.
Directed by Tim Hyland, featuring Bill Johns, Daniel
Flint, Tracy Repep, Jason Marr, Hana Lass, and Justin Alley. Music
Direction by Edd Key.
