Fishamble: The New Play Company presents
Before
Friday 09 November
Time: 8pm Price: €18/16 conc.
Before featuring Pat Kinevane is a new play with
much music, set in Cleary’s of Dublin, on the very day
this iconic department store shuts for good. 
Pontius is inside, trying to choose a gift for his
estranged daughter, whom he hasn’t seen for almost
20 years.  He will meet her in an hour. 
This father’s journey is both beautiful and strange,
from the isolation of his Midlands home, to the
madness of O’Connell Street. Some folk are
impossible to buy for…
From the team that brought you Forgotten, Underneath and the
Olivier Award-winning Silent, ‘Before’ was commissioned by
Fishamble and has been in
development with the support of the Arts Council, National Theatre
Studio (London), and The Strollers Touring Network.
