“A superb piece of work, McCafferty balances highly grim moments with laugh-out-loud comedy”.

For the second year running, Seanachai teams with the Storefront Theatre to showcase another large cast production, this time set in the North of Ireland. With only a murmur heard of the Troubles that simmer under the surface, McCafferty’s “marvelous, engrossing, ensemble play” smashes the big picture into vivid snapshots of a single day of contemporary Belfast life.  Originally presented by London’s Royal National Theatre in 2003, this tale of “lust, loss, hope, anger, grief, tenacity, old age [and] young fury” makes its Midwest premiere under the splendid direction of Scott Cummins.

Joining Seanachai ensemble members Jeff Christian, John Dunleavy, Barbara Figgins, Thomas Vincent Kelly, Anne Sunseri and Sarah Wellington in the cast are Jamie Abelson, Don Blair, Sean Bolger, Jeff Duhigg, Chris Hainsworth, Tom Hickey, Carolyn Klein, Margaret Kustermann, Eamonn McDonagh, Kat McDonnell, Niall McGinty, J. David Moeller, Ashley Neal, Lee Stark, and Zeke Sulkes.
