PAF Connects @ Dublin Theatre Festival
We are delighted to announce our next PAF Connects will be taking place with Dublin Theatre Festival on 30 September to see What Are You Afraid Of by Rough Magic at Smock Alley.
For just €28, you’ll receive a ticket to What Are You Afraid Of at Smock Alley and some drinks and refreshments at our pre-networking event. This is a fantastic opportunity to experience exciting new theatre, meet fellow practitioners, share ideas, and strengthen your ties within the arts community.
You may remember the actor Peter Hanly from such projects as BBC’s smash hit TV show Ballykissangel or Mel Gibson’s multi-Oscar winning Braveheart. And how about all the times he appeared on stage with Rough Magic, the Abbey Theatre, the Gate Theatre and many others? Yes, that’s him.
So… where did he disappear to? And why?
During the dress rehearsal for Molly Sweeney in 2011, Peter suddenly experienced extreme stage fright. Nobody watching would’ve noticed at the time but, within a year, Peter would give up acting.
Until now.
In this world premiere from Rough Magic and Kilkenny Arts Festival, Peter ends up on stage once more, searching through past and present to find out what happened. And to ask the broader question of himself, and of you… what are you afraid of?
