Samovar, a Frank McGuinness play with Kilcullen director

Luna Collective recently released a new online piece of theatre, Samovar, a newly-written piece by critically-acclaimed Irish playwright Frank McGuinness. The production is an exploration into the unknown fate of Swedish humanitarian, Raoul Wallenberg, following his capture by Soviet forces during World War II.

"We were very honoured at Luna Collective to be trusted with this piece by Frank and are extremely proud of the finished product," says Rachel O'Sullivan from Kilcullen, one of the Luna Collective founders, who directed the production.

Samovar was made in collaboration with and funded by the UCD Ad Astra Academy.

ED: With Ryan O'Donnell as Anton and Graham Butler Breen as Raoul Wallenberg, Samovar is an intense and superbly presented piece of theatre. Less than 15 minutes long, a period of lockdown time well worth taking to watch it.
