“Everyone has a soundtrack to their lives and Owen O’Neill decided to have a think about what songs were important to him and why?” Theatre Programmer at The Playhouse Áine McCarron said. “He takes the audience on a journey, from when he was ten until about 45, using 10 songs which have been integral to the most tragic joyful and comic moments of that period. Don’t miss this musical misery tour with many laughs!”

Owen O’Neill ‘Ten Songs to Die For’ will come to The Playhouse tonight (Friday) at 8pm.
