The Third Policeman

ST PATRICK'S FESTIVAL ARMAGH 2015

Flann O’Brien’s ‘The Third Policeman’

“Is it about a Bicycle?” It certainly is! And so much more... Experience a beautiful music and spoken word presentation of
Flann O’Brien’s dark comic masterpiece with live piano and string ensemble. A murder thriller; a hilarious comic satire about an archetypal village police force; a surreal vision of eternity; the story of a tender brief unrequited love affair between a man and his bicycle, and a chilling fable of unending guilt.

A gem of Irish literature is brought to life in this highly acclaimed presentation which has toured widely throughout Ireland, north and south. ‘The Third Policeman’ will be narrated by distinguished Dublin born actor Phelim Drew with an original score by Belfast composer Colin Reid.
