Camille O’Sullivan and Colin Salmon confirmed for the Beckett Festival
Heard stage commandingly live at the Festival Hall Imagining Ireland concert in 2016, Camille O’Sullivan is confirmed for a late night Steele Hall Happy Days show on 3 August at the Samuel Beckett Festival – a considerable coup for DoranBrowne, the creative programmers at the heart of the festival.
From the Camille O’Sullivan publicity material published on the Arts Over Borders site, “Her bold interpretations of everyone from Jacques Brel and Kurt Weill to Tom Waits and Nick Cave wring every drop of drama from a song and Beckett’s & Oscar Wilde’s old school of Portora is the perfect setting for her Parisian cabaret theatrical blend of spectacle, seduction and charm.”
• Leading film (Tomorrow Never Dies) television (Prime Suspect) actor, Strictly dancer, and jazz vocalist/cornetist, Colin Salmon, will be reader-in-residence.
