What Are You Afraid Of? by Peter Hanly
Kilkenny City, Co. Kilkenny
5 August - 12 August 2025
Rough Magic & Kilkenny Arts Festival present What Are You Afraid Of? by Peter Hanly at Watergate Theatre this summer.

Peter Hanly had enjoyed a successful stage and screen career for 30 years when, during a dress rehearsal for Friel’s Molly Sweeney in 2011, he suddenly experienced stage fright. The crisis was so profound that within a year he’d given up acting altogether. Until now.

In What Are You Afraid Of? Hanly returns to the stage in this self-penned work exploring what happened to him and asking himself - and the audience - what are you afraid of?

Featuring magnetic performances from Hanly and the cast, What Are You Afraid Of? is a funny, moving and uplifting story about learning to cope with fear.
