FRANCIS THE Holy Jester, by Nobel Prize winning Italian satirist, playwright, and actor Dario Fo, will be performed in Galway next week.
The play will be performed by Mario Pirovano in The Cube, Áras na Macléinn, NUI Galway, on Tuesday February 5 at 8pm.
Pirovano will portray a host of characters from 13th century Italy, principally St Francis, as the play traces his life, illustrating his commitment to his beliefs, his willingness to sacrifice his material comfort for the sake of his faith, and his readiness to challenge hypocrisy and expose the truth.
Funny, uplifting and thought-provoking, the play examines faith and commitment to Christian principles.
Admission is free and all are welcome.
