Patrick Kavanagh Centenary Celebration at Gate
RTÉ Radio 1 and the Gate Theatre will present a Patrick Kavanagh Centenary
Celebration on Sunday 17 October.
The show, which celebrates the life and work of the Irish poet who was born
in 1904 and died in 1967, will be in two parts.
The first, to be broadcast live on RTÉ Radio 1 at 8pm, will consist of
Macdara Woods, Leland Bardwell, Tom McIntyre and Dermot Healy reading
Kavanagh's 'The Great Hunger'.
The second half will have Paul Durcan, Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin and John
Montague joining the other poets to read their favourite Kavanagh poem, plus
one of their own.
The evening will also feature music played by the uileann piper Peter
Browne.
Tickets cost €15 and are available from the Gate Theatre Box Office.
