Sunday, 19 May 2024 - 45 minutes

This edition of The Sunday Show is in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where we chatted to acclaimed theatre director Joe Dowling. Joe was born in Clonskeagh, Dublin and at 28 he was the youngest-ever artistic director of the Abbey Theatre. In his 40s, he and his wife, former RTÉ presenter Siobhán Cleary moved to Minneapolis where they still live. He became the artistic director of the world-renowned Guthrie Theater in the city. Now freelance, he shows so no signs at all of slowing down! With the new direct Aer Lingus flight to Minneapolis it has never been an easier time to discover the city.
