The Visiting Hour: Stephen Rea, a nursing home, the pandemic

The Visiting Hour: Stephen Rea, a nursing home, the pandemic Review: Frank McGuinness’s short but meaningful new play has brought the Gate back to life about 2 hours ago ★★★☆☆ The Gate Theatre has been dark for more than a year. With the premiere of The Visiting Hour, a new play by Frank McGuinness, the neglected auditorium is ablaze with light. From row S, just in front of the emergency exit, a camera points towards a lush red curtain, which serves as a backdrop, rather than a frame, to the proscenium stage. A corridor of chandeliers illuminates the lone figure of a man in the distance. This is Father (Stephen Rea), a sad clown in a mismatched outfit that complements his mismatched memory and his ailing mind.

Gate Theatre to stream play online Updated / Friday, 16 Apr 2021 19:48 Knock knock? Who s there? The voice is uncertain in the cavernous space as the man looks at the young woman sitting opposite him. He feels he should know her - but from where? Written by Frank McGuinness, The Visiting Hour is play about a situation many families found themselves in over the past twelve months as a young woman visits her father who is distanced from her by dementia and also by the need to stay physically apart. It s really a very beautiful play, says Stephen Rea, who plays the father. His co star, Judith Roddy encouraged him to contact Frank McGuinness to see if he had work suitable for performance under Covid-19 restrictions and the result will be streamed by the Gate Theatre in Dublin next week.
