Meet Patrick O’Sullivan, the talented writer hailing from Tramore. He has been a prominent figure in the UK theatre scene since 2005, during his 10-year tenure at the Queens Theatre Hornchurch and subsequent 5 years in London’s West End. Today, he stands proudly as a vital part of the executive team at the Mayflower Theatre in Southampton.

Patrick is here with a new musical, born in Waterford, inspired by the tale of the Mount Sion Choir. This heartwarming Irish story, filled with hope and unity, unveils the transformative power of music.
