Coole Lady is a solo show about Irish playwright, poet and political firebrand Lady Augusta Gregory, presented by NYC's Handcart Ensemble.
Lady Gregory of Coole Park founded the Abbey Theatre, Dublin, in 1904, along with W. B. Yeats. She was 52 years of age and a confirmed member of the Anglo-Irish Ascendancy. As director of the Abbey, she embarked upon a remarkable personal transformation, socially and politically, emerging as a spirited defender of the Abbey's controversial plays.
Coole Lady is performed by Belfast Lyric Theatre alumna Joan McCready and written/directed by her husband Sam McCready. Having met and married as founding members of the Lyric, the McCreadys have together spent four decades producing, directing, and performing the dramatic masterworks of their native country.
There is an added show Mon., April 25 at 8 PM. Special price $10.00.
