Adapted from the book by Brian Behan, this one-woman play explores the life of Kathleen Behan, mother of Irish playwright Brendan Behan.
“Fortunately, the one celebrating is Rosaleen Linehan, who weaves the tale with such enchantment that she converts Kathleen Behan’s rather ordinary life story into a one-woman music hall.”- NY Times
“Ms. Linehan, warmly remembered for her brilliant performance as Kate, the eldest sister, in Brian Friel’s “Dancing at Lughnasa,” has brought the show to the Irish Repertory Theater with such a twinkle of eye and toe that she makes the audience wish it had personally known her subject, if only better to appreciate her portrayal.”- NY Times
Written and conceived by Milo O’Shea & Kitty Sullivan
