PAUL KELLY & CAMILLE O’SULLIVAN LILLIES WITH FEARGAL MURRAY Iconic Australian singer-songwriter Paul Kelly and magnetic Irish-French chanteuse Camille O’Sullivan star in this evocative new music theatre work, joined by O’Sullivan’s long-time musical director Feargal Murray. Inspired by the works of W.B. Yeats and other great Irish poets, Ancient Rain combines the spoken word with a song-cycle of new compositions. Kelly and O’Sullivan inhabit a range of diverse characters as they reveal a tapestry of themes, from the cost of love and the price of independence, to the inadequacy of faith and the power of forgiveness. Ancient Rain sees two legendary performers in the intimacy of a theatrical setting. Kelly’s modest yet masterful style meets O’Sullivan’s powerful A CONSTANTLY EVOLVING vulnerability, taking you on a journey of loss, yearning and redemption. VISUAL AND AURAL FEAST.
