Nolan plays his part in theatre of dreams

Lately in the pages of this newspaper, you may have seen a lengthy interview with Jim Nolan, the Waterford playwright.

He has a new play out, Dreamland, currently playing in Waterford and which is due to shift to Dublin and Cork down the line. Because this last weekend past was all-Waterford for yours truly, I remembered having a great chat with Nolan a couple of years ago in the capital of the south-east, when sport in its various forms was being discussed over a tasty sandwich in the Bodega.

Though he pointed out that the pleasure the Waterford hurlers had given their followers in the Gentle County had been a boon on any number of levels to the area, Nolan’s heart was with the garrison game.
