Someone Who’ll Watch Over Me

Newly formed theater company, Twisted Muse presents a production of Frank McGuinness’, Someone Who’ll Watch Over Me. The play is inspired by the true story of Brian Keenan from NorthernIreland, who was kidnapped in 1986 shortly after taking up his position as a lecturer of English at the American University in Beirut. He was released in 1990 after talks between the Irish and the Iranian government. Most of the four years and five months in Lebanese captivity he spent together with John McCarthy, a British journalist. The two men became close friends and when Keenan was released it was emotionally devastating.
