Scotsman Fringe First Edinburgh; Best Event Award Melbourne
“Lyrical and passionate, satirical and very funny” Irish Times

A classic of modern Irish theatre, Catalpa is the story of the 1875 whaleship rescue of six Irish prisoners from Fremantle penal colony in Australia - all in the vibrant imagination of a screenwriter, the best movie never made! Catalpa is about heroes and visionaries, political intrigue and personal loyalty, with hot romance, mixed-up rebels and battles at sea.
An epic adventure story that challenges the nature of heroism, a celebration of the power of live theatre.
Written and performed by Donal O’Kelly. Live music by Trevor Knight.
