Chairde means friend - and we always love sharing news about our friends.
Irish writer Niall Williams, the author of the international best-selling novel FOUR LETTERS OF LOVE, will be on the Jersey Shore this coming week to attend the opening night performance of the American premiere of his play THE WAY YOU LOOK TONIGHT at Shadow Lawn Stage on the campus of Monmouth University in West Long Branch, NJ. The play runs June 27th thru July 13th (www.monmouth.edu/shadowlawnstage ). Williams, who co-authored with his wife Christine the popular non-fiction book series O COME YE BACK TO IRELAND: OUR FIRST YEAR IN COUNTY CLARE (about the couple's "reverse immigration" odyssey from NYC back to their home country) will also appear at the Spring Lake library the evening of Wednesday June 25th to talk about his career and to sign copies of his works.
This looks to be a great evening of theatre at a wonderful venue. And I'm delighted to say that two of my good friends, Georgette and Bill Timoney, are also appearing in the show. That's where the Chairde comes in.
But they aren't just friends, they are wonderful performers. Bill and Georgette have appeared in a number of plays together, including productions at Shadow Lawn and at the Celtic Theatre Company. Bill has a long career on stage, television and movies. Plus - they're nice folks.
This is the American Premier of a show that has received high praise in the Emerald Isle.
For more information or to make reservations, you can call the theatre at 732-263-6889.
