"Blackwater Babble" will be staged in Ballyduff Upper and Waterford City

Blackwater Babble is being staged around the country by production company  Broken Crow. It moves from the Everyman in Cork to St Michael's of Ballyduff on January 25th, and following a stint in Kilkenny and Dublin, it will be staged at Garter Lane Arts Centre on February 1st.

The play was written by Tramore-based Ronan Fitzgibbon, directed by Waterford's Joe Meagher and stars actors Gary Murphy and Patrick McCarthy.  It tells the story of a man journeying along the River Blackwater, in search of what makes a great pub session.
