THE POOR MOUTH
Bónapárt Ó Cúnasa, is a resident of Corkadoragha - a remote region of Gaelic speaking Ireland where it never stops raining and where everyone lives in desperate poverty (and always will).  Having embarked on  a series of blood curdling adventures, Bónapárt  has landed up in prison on a false murder charge. "Safe in jail and free from the miseries of life" he begins to write the most affecting memoir of our times
This production sees Blue Raincoat Theatre Company complete a trilogy of original stage adaptations by Jocelyn Clarke, of the major novels of Flann O’Brien. The company’s world premier of The Poor Mouth occurs fittingly enough during the centenary month of O’Nolan’s birth. Blue Raincoat’s existing stage adaptations of At Swim-Two-Birds (2007) and The Third Policeman (2009), continue to garner international acclaim and touring success...
Blue Raincoat come as a welcome reminder that the human imagination knows no bounds ... a completely surreal belly-laugh
