Written by Sam Atwell, produced and directed by Mark P O’Connor, ‘Bondi Dreaming’ is set for an Irish Premiere Staged Reading at People’s Museum Blue Room on Thursday, February 26, as part of the Twilight Thursday events.  

Bondi Dreaming, written by Sam Atwell, has been produced 5 times in Sydney. The playwright will be known to Limerick audiences of ‘Home and Away’ as the character Kane Phillips, whose performance is still talked about.

Since arriving in Ireland in 2014, he has worked as a production executive for RTÉ and his own production house, Tri Moon Films. Actor David Michael Scott, also a ‘Home and Away’ alumnus and tutor at the Lir Academy, will be known more recently from his work on ‘Game of Thrones’, ‘The Clinic’, ‘Fair City’ and ‘The Tudors’, to name a few.

Director/actor Mark P O’Connor delivers this latest Twilight Thursday supported project, and as an actor has most recently appeared in ‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’, currently the biggest show on TV.

To bring together this calibre of casting to this latest creative venture is an exciting prospect for a Limerick audience. ‘Bondi dreaming’ packs a punch and explores mateship, the Aussie sense of humour, innocence, guilt, escapism, tragedy, grace and empathy.

Also, drug trafficking, rugby league, golf, drinking, rooting, having a laugh and the death penalty; there’s a lot going on.

To bring the Irish premiere of ‘Bondi Dreaming’ to a Limerick stage is the realisation of a vision, a decade in the making. First come first served on the door with a “Pay whatever you want” door price and a €10 suggested donation.
