A YOUNG outfit with a lot of experience and education to its credit: that’s how Arts page would reference MisCast Productions. Limerick man Niall O’Halloran is its principal architect and MisCast aims “to create a unique and contemporary approach to theatre, be it musicals, drama or a sitting room style cabaret”.
The professed ethos is “let us strive to express the truth as passionately as we can”.
For this it straddles two cities, Dublin and Treaty, on a mission to develop a platform for young professional performers.
The first Limerick production is ‘Role-Play’. set for Dolan’s on Sunday October 13 at 8pm. This is a cabaret with a cast of four familiars to anyone who keeps an eye and ear to musical theatre here: Theodora Byrne, Martha O’Brien, Niall O’ Halloran and Conor J. Ryan “take to the stage in guises such as you’ve never seen them in before”.
Anyone who saw ‘Waiting for Love’, a tender burlesque created by same persons a year ago in the [regrettably defunct] CentreSPACE, will know their vocal and physical persuasiveness.
‘Role-Play’ is what it says on the tin, each performer taking to the stage show numbers dear to their heart – that were written for the opposite sex. With Michael Young as musical director, expect a polished delivery to songs of broken hearts and familiar showbiz standards; Sunday 13.
