Set in pIaywright Brian FrieI's (Dancing At Lughnasa, Faith HeaIer) mythicaI BaIIybeg, lreland, The American FiIm Theatre's PhiIadeIphia, Here I Come! Presents an ingenious gIimpse into the tock-talking of young Gareth "Gar" O'DonnelI on the eve of his emigration to America. Through the myriad preparations and good-byes that filI Gar's last day in the threshoId of his journey to new life in a new Iand.
FrieI contrasts Gar's cIoistered emotional Iife with his gregarious social persona by portraying him as two distinct characters, a pubIic self (Donal McCann) and a private Self (Des Cave). As pubIic Garr energeticaIIy goes about his rounds, private Garr voices the anger, and sadness, "the loneliness, the groping," that has positioned him between a IoveIess youth and an unknown future. As the two sides of Gar spar over their shared past and we meet the peopIe that have inclined him towards a two-faced Iife, the difference between emigration and exiIe begins to blur.
Gar's surrogate mother Madge (Siobhan McKenna, Doctor Zhivago), his speechIess, affectionIess father (Eamon Kelly) and most importantly Gar's ex-fiancée Kate (Fidelma Murphy) all provide inadvertent testimony to the fear and Ionging that have aIready separated Gar from his community, his famiIy, his heart and ultimately from himself. AFT's PhiIadeIphia, Here l Come! is a souIful backward glance at a life as yet un-Iived and a heart as yet Iess pIace that doesn't give a damn about the past." |
