The Unlucky Cabin Boy November Tour

Touring This November

In 1835 a ship sailed out of Limerick Docks with a cargo of emigrants bound for the New World. It never came back…

After playing four performances during the Limerick City of Culture 2014  (and receiving four standing ovations), Guna Nua will now tour this successful production to eight venues throughout Ireland this November.

The Unlucky Cabin Boy is a new play by award-winning playwright Mike Finn with music and lyrics David Blake of The Brad Pitt Light Orchestra. It tells the true story of the wreck of the Francis Spaight and the terrible acts of desperation that took place on board. Produced by the award-winning theatre company Gúna Nua and directed by Paul Meade, The Unlucky Cabin Boy was a highlight of Limerick City of Culture 2014. This chilling tale of hardship, sacrifice and survival is brought to life by music and song, performed live by The Brad Pitt Light Orchestra, and told with Gúna Nua’s trademark humour and theatricality.

…the play’s great achievement is that we get to see beyond her vision to a lonely child who is,  despite the difficulties of her life, able to dream, imagine and hope.  - The Scotsman

Writer/performer Genevieve Hulme-Beaman is already a winner of a Stewart Parker Award and Best Female Performer at the Dublin Fringe for her highly original story of LOVE, beauty, chicken-chasing, daisy chains, cat-killing, French singing, dress-wearing, en suite bathrooms and a day at the pond.  Gúna Nua  and co-producers Ramblinman will tour Pondling nationally and internationally in 2015.
