Damian O Hare in theatre

Damian O Hare (Dr Nick Burnett), can be seen in the John Steinbeck classic The Grapes of Wrath.


More information can be found here:



The play has recieved excellent reviews, such as:

From remotegoat.co.uk:
"There are a number of strong and outstanding performances starting off with young Tom Joad the now paroled killer who clearly has an explosive character. Damian O'Hare plays the role with a building tension that you know is going to blow right about now."

From the Birmingham post:
"But tellingly the first scene, the chance encounter on the road between Tom Joad, returning from jail, and Casey, the former preacher turned sceptic, has a focused intimacy (and a clarity of delivery from Damian O’Hare and Oliver Cotton that we don’t always experience in this theatre) which immediately gives a momentum to the narrative which is sustained throughout the first act"

And finally, the Stage:
"Tom, the convict on licence played by Damian O’Hare, is a man of many parts, who develops a philosophical attitude which is not always at one with his understandable anger."

The play, also starring Sorcha Cusack (Who played Sister Brigid's mother in the Ireland episodes), can be seen at:

West Yorkshire Playhouse, Leeds 3rd-14th November
Hall for Cornwall, Truro, 17th-21st November.
