The Cavalcaders by Billy Roche
Setting: Shoe makers shop present day.
The Cavalcaders by Billy Roche explores the lives and loves of a community of characters in small-town Ireland. A rousing, comic play set in an old-fashioned cobbler’s shop, this is the story of a group of men who spend their days mending shoes and their nights as a barbershop quartet and singers of local legend. Their musical harmonies, however, are not reflected in their private lives.
The Cavalcaders is a wonderful memory play that explores the complexity of human relationships. With live music and a beautiful musical score, the play is both moving and entertaining as Billy Roche examines how men relate to men and to women.
