Forgotten
at Fringe Fest ’08

Fishamble in association with Pat Kinevane tours Ireland, Paris, Prague, Sibiu and Edinburgh in 2008 with FORGOTTEN

‘Has no one a skitter o´ dignity left?´

Fishamble: The New Play Company is delighted to tour its hugely successful production of Pat Kinevane´s Forgotten, directed by Jim Culleton. The production was nominated for The Irish Times Irish Theatre Awards 2007.

Written and performed by Pat Kinevane, Forgotten is a solo piece for theatre which explores four characters, between the ages of 80-100 years old, who reside in care facilities and retirement homes. Presented in a fusion of European and Japanese Kabuki theatrical styles, the piece is a dark and comical portrayal of the challenges facing older people in Ireland today.
Produced by highly acclaimed new writing company, Fishamble.

Pat Kinevane and Jim Culleton spent six months developing and rehearsing Forgotten with support from a number of artists, academics, designers and community and health experts.  This period culminated in its first performance on 25 May 2006 for the Bealtaine Festival when it was met with an overwhelming response.  Since then, the production has been performed since May 2006 in a series of special one-off performances in a variety of traditional and non-traditional spaces – black box theatres, hotel rooms, conference rooms of Dublin Castle, The Hugh Lane Gallery in Dublin, exhibition space in Centre Culturel Irlandais in Paris. 2008 sees the company on international tour to Paris, Prague, Sibiu and Edinburgh.

Forgotten is styled by Catherine Condell, Kimono by Monica Ennis, Opening and Closing Music Composed by Brian Byrne. Written and performed by pat Kinevane, Directed by Jim Culleton, Produced by Marketa Puzman.
