Fight2flight Theatre Company Present National Tour Of Pat McCabe's COUNTRY AND IRISH
Featuring a soundtrack of terrific music worthy of the title, Country and Irish is like nothing else you'll see this year.
By: A.A. Cristi Apr. 17, 2023
A man, a banana and a tape recorder. ...and a bomb.
Donie Burris has a whole heap of troubles facing him: with his girlfriend, her son, Albanian gangsters, the Longford mafia and a very overbearing mammy. How can he get them all off his back? He imagines himself as the star of his own gangster movie, and he won't go down without a fight...
Fight 2Flight Theatre presents Patrick McCabe's play Country and Irish, a hilarious but savage portrait of a man at the end of his rope, starring Peter Gowen. It is a wild joyride that pays homage to film noir, Samuel Beckett and even the Teletubbies - a startling, provocative fever dream. Featuring a soundtrack of terrific music worthy of the title, Country and Irish is like nothing else you'll see this year.
