I Interview Playwrights Part 1064: Pat Kinevane



Pat Kinevane

Hometown:

A Beautiful seaside town of Cobh in County Cork... the last port of the Titanic and sits on the 2nd biggest natural harbour in the World!

Current Town:
Dublin… a city that feels like a town — I have lived here 30 years.

Q: Tell me about Before.

A:  Before is a piece about love... and what happens if we block it from each other. It is full of salutes to the Golden age of Hollywood Musicals and the soundtrack is recorded by our National Concert Orchestra. And it sounds Amazing because of their stunning work.

Q: What else are you working on now?

A:  I am working on a number of projects including pruning my garden and painting my kitchen!!

Q: If you could change one thing about theater, what would it be?

A:  I would ban theatre Elites!! I believe theatre is for everyone, not just the Culture Vultures who claim it exclusively for themselves. I am a working class boy and always will be and proud to have broken the mould in this notoriously snobbish Art form.

Q: Who are or were your theatrical heroes?

A:  Irish Actors Niall Buggy, Joan O Hara and Des Cave.

Q: What kind of theater excites you?

A:  Anything that is new and challenging. I am done with posh plays about posh white people written by posh white men!

Q: What advice do you have for playwrights just starting out?

A:  Be afraid of nothing and don't judge yourself.

Q: Plugs, please:

A:  The American premiere of Before at the Odyssey Theatre in Los Angeles, Nov. 14 – Dec. 8. www.OdysseyTheatre.com.
