The Professor on the Road to Death An original immersive murder-mystery experience. 27–30 January, 7pm, UCC Staff Common Room
A celebration of a brilliant career.
A gathering of those who know the truth and those who only think they do.
Welcome to the retirement of Professor Anthony St. John Posey.
London, 1958 - Professor Posey, distinguished scholar of the Courtauld Institute and decorated war hero, is announcing his early retirement. Once a revered member of the legendary Monuments Men, Posey achieved international fame when he and fellow officer Robert Delacroix uncovered a long-lost van Gogh masterpiece in 1948: The Painter on the Road to Tarascon. Thought destroyed during the war, its miraculous recovery reshaped careers and cemented Posey’s legacy.
But as the professor prepares a lucrative memoir recounting his wartime exploits, old alliances will be rekindled… and old debts settled.
The guest list brings together a volatile mix of friends, rivals, and those who have waited years for the truth to surface.
This is an original piece written and directed by UCC Players member, Brenda Lynch and featuring a special appearance by members of the UCC Orchestra Society.
