- Top Actors Cast in "The Absence of Women" WORLD PREMIERE
Ian McElhinney began his professional career at Riverside
The Lyric Theatre has cast Karl Johnson and Ian McElhinney, both notable for their acting careers on stage, film and television, in Owen McCafferty’s play "The Absence of Women". Karl Johnson, who plays Gerry, has just returned to our TV screens in BBC drama "Lark Rise to Candleford" in which he plays Twister Turrell.
Ian McElhinney began his professional acting career at the Riverside Theatre in December 1978 as Bill Sykes in Oliver! with James Nesbitt.
Ian McElhinney is no stranger to the Lyric and plays Iggy. His most recent appearance on stage with the Lyric was just last February in Brian Friel’s "The Home Place" before he reappeared on our television screens last autumn in crime drama Single-Handed as former police Inspector Gerry Driscoll. Ian’s other credits include Kenneth Branagh’s Hamlet, Michael Collins, Omagh and Closing the Ring for film and Cold Feet and The Tudors for television. As well as being a prominent and respected actor, Ian was nominated for a Tony on Broadway for directing Stones in His Pockets.
Conor McNeill and Alice O’Connell have also been cast in the production. While Rachel O’Riordan directs.
