The Fattest Dancer at St. Bernadette's

A lament by TKB

OVERVIEW

  • Playwright

    Thommas Kane Byrne 

  • Synopsis

    It's the day before Julian La Blanc's School of Dance and Drama's annual showcase and everything is falling apart. Julian has absolutely had it with these little wagons with their spiky fingers and their sickled feet. They haven't a patch on him in his day. He could have been a star. A real bleedin' contender he was. Where did it all go wrong? How did he end up in St. Bernadette's Parish Hall, Ballybough? Point your toes, pay your fees and he just might tell you.
