Acclaimed Irish theater troupe, the Shoestring Theatre Company of Cork, Ireland, brings its award-winning production of A NIGHT IN NOVEMBER by Marie Jones, author of the Broadway comedy STONES IN HIS POCKETS, to New York for a strictly limited run October 28-30 at the W. Scott McLucas Studio Theatre at Irish Repertory Theatre (132 West 22nd Street). Kevin O'Shea directs.

A NIGHT IN NOVEMBER stars award-winning actor William Lyons as Kenneth McAlister, a working-class Protestant, during a fateful night in November, 1993 in Belfast when the Republic of Ireland soccer team plays against Northern Ireland in a World Cup qualifier. As the game progresses, Kenneth finds himself watching the crowd more than the football -- and exposing his Anti-Catholic bigotry.

The production features scenic design by Donie Curtin and John Noonan; costume and sound design by Aoife O'Shea; and lighting design by Michael Hennessy.

A NIGHT IN NOVEMBER runs October 28-30 at the W. Scott McLucas Studio Theatre located at The Irish Repertory Theatre (132 West 22nd Street, between 6th and 7th Avenues): Wednesday-Friday at 8pm. Tickets are $30 and are available at the theatre box office or by calling 212-727-2737.
