Exploring the surface and what lies underneath, the Pat Kinevane written 'Underneath' will perform at Esker Arts Centre Tullamore on Friday, January 23 at 8pm.

This award winning play, which stars Kinevane, is directed by Jim Culleton, and is a blackly comic, rich and vivid tale of a life lived in secret, a testament to the people who live on the fringes, under the nose of everyday life.

Presented by Fishamble, tickets for the play are priced at €18/€16 (+booking fee), and are available online at https://eskerarts-tickets.ticketsolve.com/ticketbooth/shows/1173671249
