Carry Me O’er

Carry Me O’er is Tim McGuire’s heartfelt comedy with music. Set in 1924 Ireland, an aging father, Cullan McGrath, brings his son Jack, a prominent teacher, back to the old homestead of six generations for some lessons in family, history and a few very big surprises. But Jack has some pretty big news of his own. Neither man’s bombshell will make the other happy, yet must be told. As each tries to get the ball rolling, laughter abounds, and we learn a few lessons ourselves. Warm, wise and witty, the play features some of Ireland’s most popular traditional tunes.
