Flann O'Brien’s comic masterpiece is brought roaring to life by Arthur Riordan - writer of international hit Improbable Frequency. The sell-out comic hit of the summer returns in the shape of Slattery's Sago Saga!
In Slattery's Sago Saga, Tim Hartigan’s quiet life at Poguemahone Hall is shattered by the arrival of a Scotch woman with a ridiculously evil plan. And utter confusion awaits in the shape of a politically-correct Leprechaun, a beautiful typist and a tycoon T.D. bent on bankrupting the country.
One part carnival, one part surreal satire on modern Ireland, Slattery's Sago Saga is another unforgettable theatrical adventure from The Performance Corporation – the people who brought youIrish Times Award winning Candide and The Nose as well as the Kilkenny Arts Festival and Edinburgh Fringe hit Dr Ledbetter’s Experiment.
Cast includes Clare Barrett and Lisa Lambe.
The Performance Corporation is supported by The Arts Council, Kildare County Council, OPW and Culture Ireland.
