Following on from their production of "The Weir", theatre company AgainstTHEGRAIN return to The Live Rooms with Frank McGuinness' thought provoking play "Someone Who’ll Watch Over Me".

"Someone Who'll Watch Over Me" is a play about 3 strangers who are being held as hostages in Lebanon in the 1990s. They are unaware of the reasons they have been taken and whether they will get out of their situation alive. Their humour, imagination and strength helps them sustain their sanity and hope for the future. The play is poignant, but most importantly, has moments of sheer joy and unexpected humour. The playwright, Frank McGuinness, approached Brian Keenan who endured four and a half years as a hostage in Beirut in the late 1980s, before writing the play and told him about his proposed ideas. Brian gave the work his blessing and after watching a production of the play described it as: “A life-enhancing interaction of human souls………I knew this was to be an uproarious celebration………Frank McGuinness’ play made me choke and laugh and cry and hold myself.”
