THE CAVALCADERS by Billy Roche
Set in a Wexford Cobblers shop where four shoemakers transform themselves nightly into the Cavalcaders, a singing quartet that prides itself on harmony (barbershop style), comic patter, and romance. The Cavalcaders is a wonderful memory play that explores the complexity of human relationship with love, music, and a beautiful Musical score. Roche was a musician before turning to Theater.
