Join Brat for LAST CALL: Irish Theatre at Fergie's Pub, 5/8-5/16
Brat Productions returns to Fergie's Pub to produce Brat's favorite bar tales from Conor McPherson and Mark O'Rowe May 8 to 16
LAST CALL:
Brat's Craic* fringes the Irish Theatre Festival.
No one does Irish theatre quite like Brat! That is why Brat Productions is fringing the Irish Theatre Festival this May in a return to Fergie's Pub where Brat's McPherson Festivals introduced Philadelphia to Conor McPherson's work in 2001 and 2002. Mark O'Rowe's play HOWIE THE ROOKIE was performed in 2 different bars in Old City during one Fringe. BackStage Magazine noted "Brat is Philadelphia's premiere presenter of Irish Theatre". But what is special about our craic is that it's scrappy and fringey and smells like last night's Guinness. So it's appropriate that Brat is fringing the Irish Theatre Festival this May in a scrambling return to Fergie's Pub.
*Craic or crack is a term for fun, entertainment, and enjoyable conversation, particularly prominent in Ireland. The crack/craic has great cultural currency and significance in Ireland.
