He is one of the most recognisable faces in Irish film and television, but I sense early in the interview with Don Wycherley that he is not overly comfortable discussing past glories, rendering most of my pre-prepared questions obsolete. “I look a bit different from my Father Ted and Ballykissangel and Bachelor’s Walk days,” he says with a laugh, insisting he doesn’t get recognised on the street as much as one might think.

Theatre Reviews Thu, Oct 10, 2024

Full disclosure: I am an admirer of Seamus O’Rourke’s work. I have been fortunate enough to see most of his plays, all of which I enjoyed immensely. Saying that, one would not describe them all as masterpieces.
