# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Donal O’Kelly’s – Catalpa
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 19 Aug, 2026 at 08:00 pm
- **Event Description**: A classic of modern Irish theatre, Donal O’Kelly’s Catalpa, with live music by Trevor Knight, is the story of the daring 1876 whaleship rescue of six Irish prisoners from the British Fremantle penal colony in Australia – all in the imagination of a rejected screenwriter, presented in the Civic on the exact 150th anniversary of the historic escapade.

Moby Dick meets Gone With The Wind with a passing glance at The Great Escape, Catalpa is a subversive epic that challenges the handed-down concept of heroism.
