PROGRAMME DETAILS
by John Banville
Declan Conlon gives a compelling performance as Frederick Montgomery and his dark, poignant, witty and disturbing testimony of murder. The character of Montgomery was inspired by the story of Malcolm MacArthur, who was convicted of murdering a nurse in 1982. His crimes shocked the nation and ultimately led to one of the most serious political scandals in the country.
Acclaimed as “a tour de force” (Irish Times),“A spellbinding performance…the most remarkable theatrical event” (Sunday Business Post), and “The Book of Evidence is more than impressive; it’s a triumph of theatre” (Sunday Independent).
