Take to the high sea’s and share the journey of ‘Catalpa’
‘Catalpa’ is a story in the great epic tradition of Moby Dick and Gone With The Wind - with a passing glance at The Great Escape. From New Bedford, USA to Fremantle, Australia, across the high seas on the whaling ship ‘Catalpa’.
Based on the true story of the daring rescue of six Irish prisoners in 1875, ‘Catalpa’ is one of the classics of modern Irish theatre. It plays axis, Ballymun in advance of an off-Broadway run in the Irish Arts Centre New York. It’s about heroes and visionaries, political intrigue and personal loyalty, with hot romance and battles at sea. An epic adventure story, lyrical, passionate and very funny.
All profits from this performance of ‘Catalpa’ will go to the charity ‘Children in Crossfire’. For more info see
