Coming Home Again – Lismore 90th Armistice Anniversary performance event
Created and presented as Lismore’s marking of the 90th anniversary of the Armistice at the end of World War I, Coming Home Again is an innovative outdoor performance event from the Lismore Youth Theatre Company with The Walking Theatre Company, funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund.
It will start from the Lismore Gaelic Heritage Museum, Ionad Naomh Moluag on Saturday 15th November. There will be two performances, one at 2.00pm and one at 5.00pm.Wear warm, waterproof clothing and strong footwear and, in the case of the 5.00pm performance, bring torches.
The last scheduled – passenger – ferry from the island leaves for the ten minute crossing to Port Appin at 6.35pm, making it possible to be part of the 2.00pm event.
There is an alternative that would make it possible to go to the torchlit event at 5.00pm. Between 1st November and 31st March, CalMac will run a ferry from Lismore to Port Appin at 9.45pm, if given twelve hours advance notice. The fare charged in this instance is the normal year-round fare.
