"A Couple of Blaguards" New Year's Eve Gala at Cinnabar Theater

"A Couple of Blaguards" - New Year's Eve Gala
By Frank McCourt and Malachy McCourt

Cinnabar Theater presents its annual New Year's Eve Gala featuring "A Couple of Blaguards," a rollicking, funny, musical cabaret show, featuring Irish tunes and ballads, plus a hearty stew of interesting characters recounting Frank and Malachy McCourt's life in poverty-stricken Limerick and their journey to Brooklyn.
Professional actors Tim Kniffin and Steven Abbott portray the McCourt brothers and a collection of characters from relatives to rogues, fools to petty tyrants.

"A Couple of Blaguards" provides the humorous upside to Frank McCourt’s best selling novel "Angela's Ashes." The two-man play, written before either brother published their first novels, features classic storytelling, live music by the Youkali Irish Band with poignant vignettes and Irish tradition as it follows the young McCourt brothers from Ireland to America and how they learned to apply lessons from their hardscrabble past to their new lives.

This special New Year's Eve Gala includes treats, desserts and wines; musical entertainment performed by the YouKali Celtic Band; performance of "A Couple of Blaguards," followed by champagne and party favors at midnight.
