Pentimenti the musical is the largest and most ambitious original, musical production to be launched in Ireland in many years. A cast of over 30 performers brings you this powerful piece which explores the nature of German history through the ideals and struggles of its people during the years 1935-1945. Sometimes exhilarating sometimes melancholy, this epic musical examines the rise of a national pride at the expense of a minority. Populated by an array of colourful characters, Pentimenti primarily concerns a Jewish family caught in the race against time to escape the flattening effects of fascism with whatever dignity enjoyed they can muster. Relocated to the Polish work camp 'Sobibor', the family becomes embroiled in the largest escape attempt of WW2 and through turns of theatrical magic and suspense we witness the outcome and final resolution to a unique story.T628212635Producer Bryan Flynn Theatrix Ltd.
