The Irish Canon (abridged) 

10 plays, 70 characters, 3 actors, 1 hour

 

Three actors hurtle through ten of the most famous Irish plays ever written, whipping through over 70 characters in a show that’s crammed with culture, comedy and hilarious hysterics.

 

The stage will come alive with Irish figures who have dominated theatrical circles for over a century. Cathleen Ni Houlihan, Christy Mahon, Bessie Burgess, the Bull Maccabe and many more grace the stage in quick succession, running breathlessly through iconic Irish theatre of over one hundred years, unfurling into comic chaos.

 

Completely and unashamedly abridged, watch The Irish Canon flash before your eyes dragging Irish plays kicking and screaming into the future. A hit in Cork last summer, this multi-headed parody is filled with oodles of imagination and a knock-about sense of fun!
