CHORALE – A Sam Shepard Roadshow

Wed 28th Of May 2014 – Theatre @ The Venue, OranMor

Wednesday 28th May 2014

A co-production by Presence Theatre and Actors Touring Company in association with Belgrade Theatre, Coventry. By arrangement with Josef Weinberger Limited.

Sam Shepard is America’s most adventurous and poetic living playwright. Sam Shepard begins and ends with a road: the route to promise and fulfillment, or damnation – though sometimes the two seem perilously close.

Here is a rare opportunity to experience his work through this unique roadshow that travels the length of that road, backwards, forwards, and any other way it is possible to go. For our stop on the road at Òran Mór, the roadshow comprises of the plays The Holy Ghostly, The Animal (You) playing in repertory with the film Savage/Love, by Academy Award winning director Shirley Clarke.

THE HOLY GHOSTLY
by Sam Shepard

Pop has come to the desert to destroy the ghost of a Navajo demon, bringing with him a supply of marshmallows, a bazooka and his rock-star son.

THE ANIMAL (YOU)
created by Jack Tarlton and Simon Usher using Sam Shepard’s works

A drive through the landscape of Sam Shepard’s poetry and prose, played loud to the standard rock and roll progression of C, A minor, F, G chords.

SAVAGE/LOVE
by Sam Shepard and Joseph Chaikin

Academy Award winning director Shirley Clarke captures Obie award winning actor Joseph Chaikin’s extraordinary solo performance.

The project grew from Making the Sound of Loneliness produced by Actors Touring Company and presented at Latitude Festival 2012.
