Listen to Castel Gandolfo on Showtime

Listen to Castel Gandolfo on Showtime. Jim Nolan and Gareth Lombard joined us in studio. A Jim Nolan play is a red letter day in Waterford theatre.

Set over two days in the backyard of the eponymous Castel Gandolfo, a decaying terraced house in Waterford’s inner city, Stephen Callaghan is dying and the frail threads that bind his family are fast unravelling.

His daughter, Rose, is about to lose her job; his son, Tony, is losing the race to restore his father’s vintage car and his granddaughter, Stella, is about to swap a law degree for a start in the local chipper.

As if that wasn’t enough, Stephen’s ex-wife, the formidable Dolly, is back in town. The shock return of another exile threatens to reveal the truth behind a thirty-year-old façade.

Castel Gandolfo revolves around the cataclysmic exposure of a Waterford family’s deepest and most secret wounds. It features Carrie Crowley, Michael Power, Garrett Lombard, Sarah Madigan and Elishka Lane.

The premiere of Four Rivers’ Castel Gandolfo by Jim Nolan (Moonshine, The Salvage Shop) at Garter Lane Arts Centre and directed by Ben Barnes (Artistic Director of Four Rivers).
