Kilkenny performer John Rice is set to make his professional stage debut next month in a new production of John B Keane’s masterpiece Sive at the Gaiety Theatre.

Rice will play the part of Liam Scuab, Sive's love interest, who she is forbidden to marry.

Back in 2021, the Johnswell native lit up The Watergate Theatre with his one man show ‘Light Dark and Diverse’.

In it, John showcased his variety of skills when he performed a series of diverse monologues and musical theatre numbers from a variety of well-known productions.

Money raised from that gig helped John fulfil his dream of attending London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA), the oldest specialist drama school in Britain.

He has since graduated from LAMDA, and is ready to showcase his talent to the masses as a professional performer.

Sive opens at The Gaiety Theatre on Saturday, January 27, 2024 for a limited run.
