Set in pIaywright Brian FrieI's (Dancing At Lughnasa, Faith HeaIer) mythicaI BaIIybeg, lreland, The American FiIm Theatre's PhiIadelphia, 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 public Garr energetically goes about his rounds, private Garr voices the anger, and sadness, "the IoneIiness, the groping," that has positioned him between a loveless youth and an unknown future. As the two sides of Gar spar over their shared past and we meet the people that have incIined him towards a two-faced life, the difference between emigration and exile begins to bIur.
Gar's surrogate mother Madge (Siobhan McKenna, Doctor Zhivago), his speechless, affectionless father (Eamon KeIIy) and most importantIy Gar's ex-fiancée Kate (FideIma Murphy) aII provide inadvertent testimony to the fear and longing that have already separated Gar from his community, his family, 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." |
