The Cable
Solo play by Mike Kelly set on Valentia Island about love, loss and connection during the laying of the Transatlantic Cable
Written & performed by Mike Kelly Directed by Aidan Dooley
Following a sell-out premiere, The Cable comes to Town Hall Theatre Galway as part of a major national and international tour. Written and performed by Mike Kelly and directed by Aidan Dooley (Tom Crean: Antarctic Explorer), this compelling new production is co-produced by Siamsa Tíre.
Set on Valentia Island during the laying of the Transatlantic Cable, the play unfolds a poignant story of love, loss, and the enduring human need for connection at a time of extraordinary change. Featuring a haunting score of Irish music by Dave McGilton, The Cable combines rich storytelling with emotional depth and theatrical intensity.
Rooted in Irish heritage and brought to life through Siamsa Tíre's distinctive theatrical style, this is a powerful and immersive production. The Cable promises an unforgettable evening of drama.
