New York Irish Center & Origin 1st Irish Theatre Festival present "A Night in November" by Marie Jones Starring Alan Smyth Directed by Tim Redmond Co-Directed by Caroline Morahan In November 1993, during one of the darkest times in The Troubles, Northern Ireland played the Republic of Ireland at Windsor Park in Belfast in a World Cup qualifying match just weeks after the Shankill Bomb and The Greysteel Massacre. "A Night in November" by Marie Jones embraces hope, redemption, and a desire to connect with the “best there is in human nature”, even in the face of true hatred, fear, and mistrust of the other. Hilarious, insightful, and a thoroughly pleasurable kick in the guts! It will stay with you. ______________________________________________________________ What the press has to say about "A Night in November": "Alan Smyth engages the audience with effortless charm and perfect comedic timing. His ability to inhabit each of the characters with such care and specificity has the effect of the audience becoming almost unaware they are watching a single individual... Smyth's stellar performance paired with an extremely well-crafted script makes for a night of theatre that promises to enlighten long after it's spotlight has dimmed" - Irish Arts and Entertainment " A very funny, poignant, dark, passionate and political exploration of two traditions and two tribes and one man's desire to reconcile his internal divisions, A Night in November mixes polemic and observation into a rich, rewarding and provocative piece of theatre " - The Sunday Tribune "Riotously, gloriously funny...a capering, manic joy that is utterly captivating" - Sunday Independent Information Source: The New York Irish Center | eventbrite
