TRANSPORT
A New Musical by Thomas Keneally and Larry Kirwan
Directed by Tony Walton
And all that I ask for, all that I need
Is to live my life in my own country
And all that I wanted or dear to me
Is bas in Erin a cushla geal mo chroi
Written and conceived by world-renowned novelist and Man Booker prize winner Thomas Keneally (Schindler’s List), with music composed by Wexford's Larry Kirwan, founder of the iconic New York City band BLACK 47, Transport captures the searing emotion of the Irish diaspora in a universal story of romance and loss.
Based on the real journey of an Irish woman from Cork to Australia in 1846, Keneally’s story gives voice to the passions, hopes, and fears of Transport’s unforgettable characters caught up in the grand sweep of history -- while Kirwan’s score, filled with songs of hope and heartbreak, blend traditional Irish and Australian music with a contemporary immediacy that engages and inspires.
