The Gate Theatre – CHRISTMAS AT THE GATE: PIAF starring Camille O’Sullivan
AT THE GATE THEATRE THIS CHRISTMAS
The Gate Theatre is delighted to announce the Irish Premiere of PIAF by Pam Gems, directed by Des Kennedy and starring Camille O’Sullivan. PIAF will open at the Gate Theatre from Wednesday, December 7th with previews from Friday, December 2nd. Tickets from €15 are now on sale from gatetheatre.ie.
PIAF is a captivating and uncompromising look at Édith Piaf in all her grit and glory, tracing her life from her days singing for change on the streets of Belleville to the high-end nightclubs of New York.
West End star Aoife Mulholland (Chicago, The Sound of Music, Legally Blonde) will make her Gate Theatre debut, alongside actors Kwaku Fortune, Emmanuel Okaye and Ash Rizi.
The show’s talented ensemble will include Gate Theatre veteran Phelim Drew; Irish Times Theatre Award winners Kate Gilmore and Rory Nolan; Zara Devlin, previously seen at the Gate in The Glass Menagerie; and Darragh Shannon, who recently starred as Matt in The Steward of Christendom.
The glamour, squalor and excitement of Piaf’s meteoric rise and her heartbreaking fall is vividly captured through her relationships with her lifelong friend and confidante Toine, nightclub owner Louis Leplée, her husband, Marcel, and, of course, her timeless music.
Dazzling and unforgettable like Piaf herself, this magical show will centre on the incomparable Camille O’Sullivan as she channels the Little Sparrow and brings her unique style to standards including La Vie en rose and Je ne regrette rien
