Back in ’93, Gary Lydon nailed the part of Jimmy Brady

Gary Lydon, as well as playing Jimmy in A Handful of Stars in 1993, also took on the role of Conway in a 2000 production. Who will play Jimmy Brady in 2024?

Billy Roche’s A Handful of Stars is being revised in June by Four Rivers in partnership with Wexford Arts Centre to marks its 50th anniversary, in a production directed by Conall Morrison and designed by Liam Doona, with lighting by Paul Keogan and costumes by Jeni Roddy.

A Handful of Stars has a fortnight run at Wexford Arts Centre in June (6th – 9th June and 11th – 16th June). After Wexford, A Handful of Stars transfers to the Pavilion Theatre, Dún Laoghaire (June 18th – 22nd).
