THE ADVENTURES OF THE WET SENOR
Featuring live music by Kíla
Starring: Jaimie Carswell, Sorcha Fox, Carrie Crowley, and members of Kíla
Live Music Theatre based on the experiences of Spanish Armada survivor Francisco de Cuellar in the North West of Ireland.
Spanish captain Francisco De Cuellar, washed ashore on Streedagh Beach in Sligo in 1588, faced a desperate struggle for survival. His odyssey from Ben Bulben to the Giant’s Causeway is Ireland’s great untold epic adventure story.
His Irish baptism of fire propels Francisco from soldier of fortune to “gypsy among savages”, and gives this born survivor a glimpse of something more precious than Conquistadors’ gold.
Combining the live musical passion of Kíla, the powerful storytelling skills of Donal O’Kelly (Catalpa, The Cambria) and high octane performances from Carrie Crowley, Jaimie Carswell and Sorcha Fox, this show breaks exciting new ground in music-theatre.
Electrifying music, stunning visuals, superb physical performances and a rollicking story – the perfect night out.
Supported by the Arts Council of Ireland and Leitrim County Council

The study of an artist in society today.
Donal O’Kelly’s solo plays Bat the Father, Rabbit the Son and Catalpa are considered some of the most original works to come out of Ireland in the last 25 years. His political activism and the intensity of his performance are legendary and this documentary explores the mind behind his work. It gets up close to his performances and meets with some of his characters, friends and collaborators along the way. Finally it sees him back on top and receiving standing ovations from audiences across Europe.
See this film followed by a fantastic prodiction of Donal O’Kelly’s The Adventures of the Wet Senor.
