Peter Hanly had enjoyed a successful stage and screen career for almost thirty years when, during a dress rehearsal for Friel’s Molly Sweeney in 2011, he suddenly experienced stage fright. The crisis was so profound that within a year he’d given up acting altogether. Until now.
In What Are You Afraid Of? Hanly returns to the stage in this self-penned work exploring what happened to him and asking himself, and the audience – what are you afraid of?
Following their award-winning co-production of Solar Bones, Rough Magic returns to Kilkenny with this unique show, a full production of the work-in-progress presented last year.
Featuring a magnetic performance from Hanly, What Are You Afraid Of? is a funny, moving and uplifting story about learning to cope with fear.
Presented by Rough Magic and Kilkenny Arts Festival.
