🎧Listen Back as Joe McGill from Radio Kerry interviews Mike Kelly & Aidan Dooley about The Cable (starts at the 43min mark).
The Cable
The Transatlantic Cable, which ran from Valentia Island, Co. Kerry, to Heart’s Content, Newfoundland, spanned over 3,000 kilometres beneath the Atlantic Ocean and revolutionised global communication by reducing message transmission across continents from weeks to mere minutes. As the world changed forever, so too did the lives of those at its edges — a truth brought vividly to life in this stirring production.
Don’t miss this unforgettable theatrical event where history, heart, and heritage meet on stage. The Cable promises to stir the soul and spark reflection — an extraordinary experience featuring live music, masterful storytelling, and a powerful message that resonates.
Tickets (€29 / €27.50) Early booking is strongly recommended.
