As part of The New Theatre’s New Writing Development, we are excited to present a free reading of The Sailor’s Dream by Jack Harte. Join us on January 29th at 7pm for this free presentation.
Jack Harte’s novels and short stories have been published in 13 languages. As a playwright, he made his debut in 2015 with Language of the Mute in The New Theatre, which toured the following year to many of the major theatres around Ireland. This was followed by The Mysterious History of Things (Viking Theatre, 2016). Lugh and Balor was performed in Greek translation at the amphitheatre of Maroneia and the Theatre of Komotini in Greece. Killing Grandad, The Pleasureometer, Outside the Club of Culture, and Sing it Slantways were all presented at The New Theatre, as was The Laughing Boy, his play based on Brendan Behan’s song of the same name which became the anthem of the Left in Greece – this was presented at The New Theatre in 2021 and revived in 2022, before moving to London. His most recent play was Vulture (The New Theatre, 2022). More info: www.jackharte.com
