THE Zyber Theatre Company will present an acclaimed drama this Wednesday, Thursday and Friday at Siamsa Tíre.
‘The Game’ written by John Fraher, was first performed in Siamsa Tíre back in 1992. It’s an emotional drama set within the confines of a dysfunctional family and their associates, where life becomes a game.
The Tralee-based theatre group is known for its wonderful productions and the cast of five — George Lowe, Mags Slattery, Eoghain Sheehy, Sorcha Uí Shuilleabháin and Rory O’Mahony — have been busy rehearsing since before Christmas to deliver performances from Wednesday, May 22 to Friday, May 25 at 8pm nightly.

The play has been performed by various drama groups down the years to great acclaim by those attending and this production will no doubt emulate those stagings.
In fact, writing in The Kerryman back in 2002, when the play was staged at Siamsa Tíre, Michael Commane said; “The Game’ is a serious study of what failure, misery, pain is about. It is anything but a laugh, but a play no one should miss”.
The show begins at 8pm nightly. Tickets: €21/€19 +Booking fee and is suitable for people aged 18 and over. Contact the Siamsa Tíre box office 066-7123055 or click here to book online.
