Here’s a selection of shots recently taken for Upstate Lives most recent play The Ones Who Kill Shooting Stars. As ever it was fun working with the Upstate team again. A razor sharp comedy with more twists than a series finale of Lost I don’t think you’d ever see Clogherhead presented in the same light again unless of course either Conall Quinn or Paul Hayes decide to make a sequel.
The Ones Who Kill Shooting Stars:
Director: Paul Hayes Writer : Conal Quinn Set Design: Kieran McNulty Lighting Design: Sarah Jane Shiels Shiels Composer: Trevor Knight
Costume Design: Sinead Roberts Photography: Shane Cowley
Cast: John Currivan, Duncan Lacroix, Aine Ni Laoghaire, Karl Quinn, Conan Sweeny
Conall Quinn’s new play is a surreal tale of love and death set on a County Louth beach during World War II.
Henry is on the look out for German submarines but all he really wants to do is fire his flare gun, Alice has decided to run away from home again, and Edward’s wife is blowing kisses at him. There’s also the body of the American pilot to bury…
“Look out! Oh holy God, look out! That’s what all the shooting stars will say. They’ll say, There’s that coastwatcher Henry Neary, he’s the one who kills shooting stars with his unrequited love.”
