I’ve got mixed feelings about sequels. I love The Godfather 2 and Terminator 2. I even love the Meg 2. But after persuading my son Cóilín to watch Final Destination 2 with me, I had to admit that he was right when he said it’s pretty much identical to the first one. We’re used to sequels to movies, but a sequel to a play is another thing entirely. And yet that’s exactly what I found myself pondering soon after Fergal McGrath commissioned me to write a new play for the Town Hall Theatre. I kept trying to talk myself out of writing Finding Sophie, because a new play is hard enough to get off the ground at the best of times without it also being a sequel. As I set out to explore the idea, I had no idea that director Andrew Flynn and Decadent Theatre Company would go on to produce it at the Town Hall Theatre.

Decadent Theatre Company and Town Hall Theatre have announced the cast for the world premiere of Finding Sophie, a new play by award-winning writer Christian O’Reilly. Directed by Andrew Flynn, this highly anticipated new play is the sequel to the award-winning Sanctuary.
