Rehearsed in our very own Shantalla Community Center:
We are delighted to let you know about: Last train from Holyhead.
Tuesday 23rd September - Sat 27th September.
Written & Directed by Bernard Field

Last train from Holyhead rolls back into the Town Hall Theatre Galway!

Two men discover more than they bargained for on an overnight train to nowhere. With the help of drink, poker and a beguiling Gypsy they encounter the truth within through the lives of each other.

"A story you will remember and are sad to have heard as you step off the train" Irish Theatre Magazine

Haw Theatre Company’s Last Train from Holyhead is a powerful, poignant story of two strangers, a poker game, and the truths that surface on a train bound for nowhere.
