On Blueberry Hill from Fishamble
From the Olivier Award-winning Irish Theatre Company, Fishamble and award-winning Laureate of Irish Fiction Sebastian Barry, On Blueberry Hill is a beautifully intense two-hander that explores murder, forgiveness, survival and love in the prison of the human heart.
Two men who are at once the best of friends and arch rivals are forced to share their lives and their space with each other. As PJ (David Ganly) and Christy (Niall Buggy) reminisce about the highs and lows of a life on the outside, they slowly begin to walk down the road that led to them sharing their stories, and their cell.
This play bursts to life and shows the unintended and dramatic consequences that led to the men being where they now find themselves.

A brilliant production.
This is a fabulous play - excellent script and acting
Excellent production
Captivating - pardon the pun. Superb spellbinding narrative as their stories unfold to the heart rending ending.
This is a beautifully crafted play , with melodic and stunning language. Niall Buggy’s performance was completely superb. What an actor! I know the set design was purposely dark and enclosed but this is theatre after all- and we the audience had to sit through gloom for the whole length which was irritating and visually tiring. This is a brilliant production . I found the subject matter harrowing and upsetting but I get easily upset .
An intense show- all about the language. Excellent as ever from Barry.
Excellent 100 minutes of emotionally charged Irish melodrama, beautifully acted. Funny and devastating in equal measure.
All four of us loved it. Great acting and story. Would recommend it to others
The acting was raw committed and strong the writing was tight and apart from the moments where blueberry hill was sung I thought the spell was incredibly well sustained.
Intimate and moving. Great writing!
Five Stars out of a possible five. I thought the play ,the acting and the staging were superb. If there is any justice both actors should get Oliviers.
A riveting and stunningly well-acted two-hander. The audience was rapt as the beautifully written story unfolded; two hours flew by, we didn’t want it to end. With moments of warm humour this play was a delight. PS the staff at Trafalgar Studios were all friendly, efficient and excellent at their roles.
