Declan’s Got Talent at Town Hall Theatre is a new dark comedy by Peter Gowen.

Declan lives on his own, but he is not alone. He wants to prove to himself and his constant companion that he has got what it takes. After years of suffering from a lack of confidence, he’s decided to “Go for it!”

We see Declan trying to prepare for his upcoming audition on a talent show, but there is someone else there. And as Declan tries to silence this other voice we are dragged back into East Cork/West Waterford in the late Sixties. We follow Declan attempting to enter the Church, cope with his infatuations and watch him triumph over this negative friend.

This is a co-production with First Fortnight Festival which is a mental health charity.
