Michael Harnett's 'The Cloudspotter' Comes to Viking Theatre

17 May 2022

Michael Harnett's 'The Cloudspotter', directed by Vinne McCabe, starring Deirdre Monaghan, Brenda Brooks and introducing Callum Maxwell will run at Viking Theatre from Monday 13th June to Saturday 25th June 2022. 

Nan, a grandmother in her seventies is becoming increasingly forgetful. She’s also been left with the added challenge of rearing Thomas, her wayward grandson, on her own.

The story takes place in a sweep of locations from Nan’s flat near the 5 Lamps, to a film set in Wicklow, from the old Log Cabin in Fairview to Dunnes Stores in Henry Street, from The Mater Hospital to the Garda station in Store Street.

With brushes with the Guards, dramatic shoplifting episodes, break-ins, court appearances, and a constant battle with school attendance and probation officers,

The Cloudpsotter explores the rawness of life. But deep at its core is the deeply felt love between a grandmother and her grandson.
