LIMERICK theatre maker Sinead O’Brien will embark on a nationwide tour with her show No One Is Coming this spring after a five-star run at Edinburgh Fringe in 2023. Its Irish premiere happened on March 10 at Hawk’s Well Theatre Sligo and the show will come to Belltable this Saturday April 6.
Sinead’s work was described by To-Do List London as a “storytelling masterclass” .
“A love letter to my mother that I will never send,”
No One is Coming is a dark comedy of mythical proportions about a daughter and mother’s turbulent relationship. Sinéad infuses old Irish folklore with modern day mammy issues to process her mother’s mental health struggles and their resulting estrangement.
An Irish theatre maker working in Ireland, the UK and the Netherlands, Sinéad wanders across Europe sharing stories, working with local communities, and helping others find their voice. Now, with her first solo show, it’s Sinéad’s turn to tell her own story.
No One is Coming was directed by Sahand Sahebdivani and first commissioned by Amsterdam’s International Storytelling Festival in 2021. The production went on to enjoy critical success at Prague Fringe, London’s Riverside Studios, and Edinburgh Fringe in 2023. No One Is Coming is presented by Wandering Stories and Fair Play Productions.
