The acclaimed play based on stories by Frank O Connor and adapted for the stage and directed by Patrick Talbot.

Following a hugely successful national tour in 2015, which included runs at the Gaiety Theatre Dublin, The Lyric Theatre Belfast and The Everyman in Cork, the critically acclaimed God Bless the Child now visits Cork Opera House for the first time.

The childhood stories of Frank O Connor are universally regarded as being classics of their kind. Three of the funniest: First Confession, My Oedipus Complex and The Genius have been brought together within a single full-length play. Richly evocative of Ireland in the early decades of the 20th Century, funny and moving, and featuring memorable performances, God Bless the Child is a must see.
