Cónal Creedon is a critically acclaimed novelist, playwright and documentary filmmaker
Rachel Saltz – New York Times
“Mr. Creedon’s words are enough to create a world that is at once comic and dramatic, poetic and musical”
“The highlight of last year’s theatre in Shanghai came all the way from Cork in Irish playwright’s Cónal Creedon’s double-header of short plays — powerful, yet punctuated with humour, lyrical and richly colloquial. They were terrific!”
Arts Ed – That’s Shanghai, China
Kate Robinson – USA Review Of Books
“Creedon’s well-honed, multi-dimensional cast of characters, his vividly portrayed settings and interiors of 1970s and contemporary Cork, and his measured but lyrical prose nail every nuance of the story arc. The author has ripped open his Irish heart to spill this marvellous pastiche, a real-life creed that must be absorbed with one’s heart open wide to the pathos and poignancy of love lost and found, life lived and unlived, and spirituality bound to blind faith or soaring on the wings of perception. Ultimately, Creedon’s tour de force pays tribute to an end-of-life journey that paradoxically celebrates the winter of regret and the eye-opening gift of having nothing left to lose.”
