Forgotten

For my darling and beautiful angel, Kez

Between 2006–2012, Fishamble: The New Play Company’s production of FORGOTTEN has toured to over 60 Irish venues and to Dance Base at the Edinburgh Fringe, Liverpool Irish Festival, Prague Fringe Festival, Sibiu International Theatre Festival in Romania, Bulgaria (five cities), Lokal Theatre Festival in Reykjavik, Centre Culturel Irlandais in Paris and the International Black Sea Festival in Turkey. In 2010/11, it toured in the US, coproduced by Georganne Aldrich Heller, to the Irish Arts Center in New York, the BCA in Boston, the Source Theater in Washington DC and the Odyssey Theater, Los Angeles.

‘Never underestimate the substance, the complexity, of a long life. Forgotten, Pat Kinevane’s one-man show at the Irish Arts Center, gracefully illustrates that point with mimicry, invention and formidable stamina. Well paced and poignant. Mr. Kinevane artfully conveys the secrets, the hidden past, of the aged, and the dignity often behind their quaint, seemingly innocuous bearing’

The New York Times

‘… the monologues are beautifully written and vivid’

The New Yorker

‘Drop everything. Book now … astonishingly realised … a consummate act of storytelling … shot through with compassion, understanding and performative adventurousness … it is a striking accomplishment; captivating, moving, and – yes – even unforgettable’

The Irish Times

‘incredibly moving and unequivocally beautiful … immediate and compelling’

The Scotsman

‘a piece of theatre not easily forgotten … its best moments linger in the mind and haunt you on the way home, and after, maybe’

The Sunday Tribune

‘uproarious gallows humor that is distinctively Irish … a unique theatrical experience that challenges the mind – and the heart’
