Imelda May is “excited and terrified” to star in a play based on a book by Brendan Behan.
The singer will star in the one-woman play at Dublin 3Olympia in August, which will be directed by Peter Sheridan – brother of film producer Jim. The play is based on a book by the late Brendan Behan, about his “inspirational” mother, Kathleen.
Imelda, 48, posted on Facebook that she was looking forward to the opportunity. The Dubliner wrote: “An entire one-woman play is certainly jumping in the deep end for my first theatre show but I rarely do things by halves.
