Sean Tyree will speak on...
”The Life of John Boyle”
John Boyle O'Reilly, 1844 – 1890, was a visionary, poet, and rebel who was persecuted, condemned and banished from Ireland to the Penal Colony of Australia for his political beliefs and activities. He was the first to escape from there on an American whaling ship. Musician and poet Seán Tyrrell's "Cry of the Dreamer - The Amazing Story of Irish Hero John Boyle O'Reilly" brings this forgotten nineteenth century Irishman to life in this stunning theatrical presentation. It is a tale woven in song and narration, a unique history lesson.
