Connolly first came to public attention when his play 'Tuesday' was produced in the late 1990s. The writer is a nephew of musician ( and former member of The Dubliners ) Bob Lynch. An extract from award-winning Julie Feeney's song 'Knock Knock' was included in the novel 'Harold'. Connolly's new stage play 'The Book of Condolences', directed by Vincent Smith, will be premiered in Dublin, February 22nd, 2016.
