Bank of Ireland ‘Centre Stage’ Series
Come Good Rain (George Seremba)
“Seremba rivets our attention with an extraordinary story of personal survival [and] political dissidence.”
Michael Billington, The Guardian
Actor George Seremba brings his powerful and widely-acclaimed solo play Come Good Rain to the Magee
campus, as part of the ongoing Bank of Ireland ‘Centre Stage’ series. The play is a moving and inspirational
autobiographical account of Seremba's terrifying experiences in 1970s Uganda. He takes the audience on
his journey from survival to triumph over the oppressive political regimes of Milton Obote and Idi Amin.
Integrating African song and folklore as well as live percussion, performed by Daudi Kutta, Seremba depicts
the vibrancy and wonder of youth, his deep love for Africa, but also the horror of the political climate of
Uganda and his own near escape from execution. Come Good Rain is a lyrical celebration of life - a story of
love and courage when facing what seems like insurmountable obstacles.
Seremba was nominated for Best Male Performer in the Dublin Fringe Festival 2004 and in the Best Actor
category of The Irish Times Theatre Awards (2005). He is also known from his time in Fair City in the role
of Gabriel.
The Bank of Ireland ‘Centre Stage’ Series brings leading drama practitioners to the Magee campus to work
with students and to share their expertise with a wider audience. Since February 2006 the Series has
included visits by Nicolas Kent, Conall Morrison, Stephen Rea, Martin Lynch and Donal O’ Kelly.
