Saturday Brunch: 4 April 2015
Peter Gowen and Donal Gallagher joined Eoin Carey in studio this weekend to talk about their upcoming play “The Chronicles of Oggle” taking place in the Watergate Theatre on Tuesday 7th of April.
Meet Pakie. An orphan, a storyteller, an adventurer, a survivor. He may not be the sharpest sandwich in the tool box, but Pakie knows a thing or two about the history of his native town – from the vicious Vikings, to the less-than Christian Brothers. Pakie’s a laugh a minute… but Pakie’s got secrets. Secrets the God fearing people of Oggle, may not be ready to hear.
Written and performed by renowned local actor Peter Gowen (Love/Hate, The Butcher Boy/Hairy Ape), and directed by Donal Gallagher, the Chronicles of Oggle is a hilarious and heartbreaking story of small towns and even smaller minds.
Here, Peter gives us a little taster of what to expect on the night.
