GAA superstar, winner of six All-Ireland medals and former Taoiseach, Jack Lynch was born in Cork in 1917. He became a sporting folk hero, a legend, and one of the most popular politicians ever to be elected on this island.
JACK is a new play marking the centenary of his birth. It looks at the peaks of his extraordinary career, in its most turbulent period, when the peace and security of this country was gravely challenged.

Playwright Declan Hassett is a former editor of the Evening Echo and Arts Editor of the Irish Examiner. His play SISTERS, starring the late Anna Manahan, toured all over Ireland and also played Off Broadway New York. Patrick Talbot is the writer/director of A GREAT ARRANGEMENT, the play on Michael Collins which premiered in 2016 and GOD BLESS THE CHILD, the play based on stories by Frank O Connor.
