About this title

Synopsis

Taking us back to a forgotten world that is nonetheless brimming with familiar passions and human foibles, Lay Me Down Softly is another slice of vintage Billy Roche. Set in rural Ireland of the early ’60s, Roche’s new play takes us into the burlesque world of Delaney’s Traveling Roadshow.

Other work includes the stage plays, Amphibians for the RSC, The Cavalcaders seen at the Royal Court as well as the Abbey, On Such As We also for the Abbey, the novel Tumbling Down and the screenplay for Trojan Eddie starring Stephen Rea.
