Sean O’Casey’s playful scrounger from the classic, Juno and The Paycock, takes centre stage in an intriguing new play from the pen of Eddie Naughton.
With the incredibly talented Phelim Drew in the role, the advice is to get your tickets early for the show at Cleere’s Theatre, Parliaments Street, Kilkenny on Thursday, October 17.
Brilliantly performed by Drew, (son of Ronnie Drew) Joxer’s love of language, humour, literature and song, together with a drinker’s purple recollection, makes this a performance like no other.
Entertaining and funny, Joxer Daly Esq. is a thought provoking gander at one of Irish Literatures most loveable chancers!
With events that were to alter the course of Irish history as a backdrop, Joxer Daly Esq. charts an everyman journey from respectable member of The Foresters Association to a vagabond scraping by with only his wit to use as collateral.
