The Ballad of Barrel Man by Leon Danza
Triskel Arts Centre, Ireland, T12 WYY0
Friday 27 November 2026
A rehearsed reading of The Ballad of Barrel Man, a new play by Leon Danza as part of SHOW 2026.
‘The Ballad of Barrel Man’ is a dark comedy about a voluntarily homeless man who lives in a barrel on Patrick Street. Spending his days ranting and raving at how the government are crooks, the public are ‘sheeple’, virtue has been turned into a product, and how everything has essentially gone to pot, he hopes to wake up society to the ‘real truth’. Gathering ‘evidence’ in his shopping trolley, he plans to expose the corrupt politicians of Ireland, but will anyone listen to a man living in a barrel?
