The Gates of Gold reopen at Trafalgar

Irish playwright Frank McGuinness’ Gates Of Gold, exploring the relationship between Hilton Edwards and Michael MacLiammoir, the founders of Dublin’s Gate theatre, runs from 21 November to 16 December 2006 at the Trafalgar. It is a play that illustrates how the Wildean lifestyle of the two theatre lights made it possible for a generation of Irish to old their head up in Europe. The humour of the play is always black and bitter but very funny none the less. This is a good play to illustrate McGuiness' view of women in the role of Kassie which is outstanding in its mother Russian nurse maid conventions.
