Adelphi ‘63

7th November, Dublin, 1963. Hundreds flocked to see JFK in the Phoeno, the city mourns the dead children of the collapsed tenement on Fenian St, housewives protest the Turnover-Tax, sexism is rife…but nevermind all that.

Mary Connors just won two tickets to see The Beatles, THE BLEEDIN’ BEATLES

Using archival interviews, music, new writing and impressive Beatle impressions. Adelphi’63 is a fictional celebration of historical events exploring the resilience of joy.
