SHOESTRING THEATRE COMPANY PRESENTS: A NIGHT IN NOVEMBER. BY MARIE JONES
Written by Belfast playwright Marie Jones, ‘A Night In November’ stars award-winning actor William Lyons as Kenneth McAlister, a working-class Protestant, during a fateful night in November, 1993 in Belfast when the Republic of Ireland soccer team plays against Northern Ireland in a World Cup qualifier. As the game progresses, Kenneth finds himself watching the crowd more than the football — and exposing his Anti-Catholic bigotry.
Thought provoking and hilarious, this play has wowed audiences all around the world and is one of the best pieces of theatre written in Ireland in the past 30 years.
In 2009 William Lyons won the best actor award at the All-Ireland Drama Festival in Athlone and prior to the final had won 7 best actor awards on the festival circuit
