Corktown ‘39 at Rogue Machine (in the Matrix Theatre)

Written by John Fazakerley and directed by Steven Robman, this political thriller about a little known Irish Republican Army (IRA) plot to assassinate the king of England is inspired by true events. The play takes place over a span of four days in early May 1939 and raises the ethical dilemma and a moral debate of employing terrorist tactics as a means of achieving a noble goal. With intrigue and romance, the world premiere production stars some of L.A.’s best known actors.
