A musical rises from Ashes
It is often described as ‘misery lit.’
But Adam Howell has written Angela’s Ashes: A Musical, which opens at Limerick’s Lime Tree Theatre, Jul 17-20. Howell, the co-artistic director of Uncontained Arts, based at Derby Theatre in the UK, says the descriptions of impoverished life in Limerick’s lanes in the 1930s and 1940s are tempered by humour and strong characterisation.
