SCENES FROM THE BIG PICTURE

August 28 – October 5, 2008
written by Owen McCafferty
directed by Scott Cummins



​Smashing the “big picture” into vivid snapshots of intimate groups of people, the focus moves from shops to pubs to life on the street, masterfully weaving together the lives of twenty-one characters in forty scenes to give a 24-hour slice of contemporary Belfast life.

Highly Recommended! Expertly orchestrated by director Scott Cummins, featuring a superbly unified, highly individualistic, generation-spanning ensemble of 21 actors. "
~ CHICAGO SUN TIMES
A sure sign that you've experienced a great production is when, after almost three hours in the theater, you find yourself still thinking about its characters and wanting to spend more time with them. Seanachai's latest offering is that rare exquisite experience that both moves you and then haunts your memory long afterwards."
~ CENTERSTAGE CHICAGO
Standout performances by Mr. McDonagh, Ms. Klein and Mr. Dunleavy will have you in stitches. Ms. McDonnell's desire for a full life will bring a tear to your eye, and the very laid back style of Mr. Moeller's character will bring it all to a solid ending.
