What's on in Waterford: Live music, theatre, local talent and more

Falling to Earth: My Summer with Bowie, June 4 - 5, Theatre Royal 

A thrilling new production from acclaimed playwright Eugene O’Brien, and directed by Jim Nolan, 'Falling To Earth: My Summer With Bowie' is an evocative and deeply personal story of music, longing, and self-discovery.

Brought to life by the powerhouse performance of Stephen Jones (Northern Lights, Into The Badlands, Red Rock, Love/Hate, Ripper Street), this gripping one-man show takes audiences on an unforgettable journey through a summer that changed everything for main character Scut Kelly.

Single, loveless, and caring for a father who had never shown him much care, Scut's only solace comes from the music of Ziggy, The Thin White Duke, the man who fell to Earth with his Spiders from Mars.

But now, fate is about to intervene, when his world collides with David Bowie.
