Catalpa Hawk's Well Theatre Wed 27 Jan 2027, 8pm €22/20conc. (plus booking fees) Written and performed by Donal O’Kelly with live music by Trevor Knight. A classic of modern Irish theatre, Donal O’Kelly’s Catalpa, with live music by Trevor Knight, is the story of the daring 1876 whaleship rescue of six Irish prisoners from the British Fremantle penal colony in Western Australia - all in the imagination of a rejected screenwriter, 150 years after the historic escapade.
