If Cavan walls could talk, what stories would they tell?

If the walls of different buildings in Cavan town could talk, they'd have many the story to tell. For The Town On Stage, Philip Doherty has tried to get inside the 'minds' of those buildings and he promises that the series of plays will "do the talking of the town". "It will tell the history of the town past and present, from the landlord days of the Farnham Estate to the recent closure of the head shops." With over fifty actors performing in seven locations, the playwright hopes to encapsulate the spirit of the town through this proje ct. The action includes live music, kidnappings, assassinations, confessions, a ducking in the Kinnypottle river, a staged house party, a live burial, raised spirits and outrageous haircuts. Philip hopes that anyone looking in at these characters will see the unique history and nature of Cavan. The history will be told with Philip's dark sense of humour. Some of the characters will be recognisable in any town or village in the world, says the playwright, but this snapshot of Cavan town will tell stories that are based on factual events from the town, eccentric stories that will shock, inform and entertain.
